AI milestones in 2009
2 documented milestones from 2009.
Robot Scientist Adam
In April 2009, researchers at Aberystwyth University and the University of Cambridge published in Science an account of Adam, an automated laboratory system that independently formulated hypotheses about yeast gene function, designed and executed experiments, and interpreted results without human intervention during the cycle.
ImageNet: a large-scale hierarchical image database for object recognition
Researchers led by Li Fei-Fei introduced ImageNet, a dataset organised around more than 100,000 concept categories and aimed at providing roughly 1,000 human-annotated images per category, on which the ILSVRC challenge was later built.
