Computer scientist Yoshua Bengio has become the first person to have their work cited more than one million times on the search engine Google Scholar. Bengio, who is based at the University of Montreal in Canada, is known for his pioneering research on machine learning. He has been called one of the godfathers of artificial intelligence (AI), alongside computer scientists Geoffrey Hinton at the University of Toronto in Canada and Yann LeCun at the technology company Meta in New York City. The trio shared the A. M. Turing Award \u2014 the most prestigious prize in computer science \u2014 in 2019 for work on neural networks. Bengio\u2019s top-cited papers include one he co-authored in 2014 titled Generative Adversarial Nets1, which has more than more than 105,000 Google Scholar citations, as well as a Nature review paper2 he wrote with LeCun and Hinton. The list also includes papers on \u2018attention\u2019, a technique that helps machines to analyse text. Attention became one of the crucial innovations that fuelled the chatbot revolution, starting with ChatGPT in 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5301,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"class_list":["post-5300","committee","type-committee","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
