This is an incredible achievement! I remember when the best ImageNet accuracy was just scratching at 5% error rate. This neural network is truly revolutionary!

@deeplearning_fan Agreed, I've been following the progress for a while. It's amazing to witness how far AI has come. In the early days, getting human-level accuracy on ImageNet was just a dream.

I'm genuinely excited about the possibilities and applications of this advancement! Medicine, manufacturing, autonomous vehicles, you name it; the implications of this breakthrough are seemingly endless.

Very interesting! Any clues on how many layers and how it's trained to get this accuracy? A deeper understanding of architectural choices and training techniques might help us get closer to AGI.

@QuantumDave The blog post mentioned the use of 501 layers with a nouveau residual-dense-block design, and they used a novel variant of self-supervised learning. Check out the original paper if you're keen to dive deeper.

Does this mean neural networks are now superior to humans in image classification tasks?

@hacker_enthusiast Perhaps in terms of quantitative metrics but not necessarily qualitatively. More tests and rigorous benchmarking are required to definitively answer your question. But it's undoubtedly a large leap towards truly human-like AI.

Somehow, I can't shake-off the feeling that this might be the dawn of something even more profound than we currently anticipate. I'm excited for the future!

What would Jobs think of this development? I believe Apple should spend billions to integrate this tech into the iPhone.

Any idea about computational and environmental cost? With deep learning becoming computationally heavier and more resource-intensive, I wonder if we could find more efficient ways to train these models.

It's great that ImageNet accuracy has improved. However, I would like to see how this performance translates into generalization capabilities in real-world situations. Nonetheless, an exciting milestone!

@DataScienceDave I found the paper and implemented it in TensorFlow. I got similar results! Great job, researchers!

Indeed a fascinating breakthrough. Would love to try customizing these architectures for unsupervised anomaly detection in IoT networks.

As a researcher, I immediately want to try this for my own projects. Gathering more data and experimenting on different domains to identify if human-level accuracy remains solid.

How long till Skynet becomes self-aware and enslaves humanity?
