All About Neural Networks: Yann LeCun Lifetime Achievement Award at 6th Annual Lovie Awards

The Lovie Awards were privileged to honour Yann LeCun with the 2016 Lovie Lifetime Achievement Award for his work as a pioneer in the creation of neural networks. LeCun's contributions to the science of machine learning, mobile robotics and computational neuroscience among other learned fields, is legendary. As a founder of Neural Nets, LeCun applied biological methods of perception to computer processors. Currently continuing his forward-thinking work as the Head of Artificial Intelligence at Facebook, LeCun is poised to see his genius bear inventive innovations to the social media platform that will affect a global user base. As he continues to inform and experiment with the future of mediums such as the incredibly fast-growing arena of machine learning, LeCun's work will only improve upon the already impressive technologies he has brought to fruition.
