Yoshua Bengio
Yoshua Bengio addresses the same UN Security Council session

At the same session, a lab (measurement and reporting) and an independent scientist (prior licensing and liability insurance) put forward different regulatory models. This gap becomes the real front line of international

Yoshua Bengio
Yoshua Bengio chairs the second International AI Safety Report

Brings the format of an IPCC-style international consensus document to the AI risk debate. A shared factual basis for regulatory debates in each country

Hendrycks, Bengio and 29 others
A Definition of AGI

Moves the definition of AGI from rhetoric to a psychometric scale; the biggest deficit is long-term memory storage

Yoshua Bengio
Yoshua Bengio announces the founding of the nonprofit LawZero

Shifted safety discourse from warnings to proposing an alternative architecture. Presented non-agentic AI as a workable technical route

Dzmitry Bahdanau, Kyunghyun Cho, Yoshua Bengio
Neural Machine Translation by Jointly Learning to Align and Translate

The paper that solved the fixed-length vector bottleneck with attention. The direct predecessor of the Transformer's self-attention

Yoshua Bengio, Aaron Courville, Pascal Vincent
Representation Learning: A Review and New Perspectives

Framed representation learning as a single problem, becoming the field's standard reference from then on

Xavier Glorot, Yoshua Bengio
Understanding the difficulty of training deep feedforward neural networks

Showed that activation functions and initialization determine training stability. The origin of Glorot initialization

Yoshua Bengio et al.
Greedy Layer-Wise Training of Deep Networks

Showed experimentally that layer-wise unsupervised pretraining eases the difficulty of training

Yoshua Bengio et al.
A Neural Probabilistic Language Model

Proposed a neural language model that learns words as dense vectors. The direct predecessor of the embedding lineage that includes word2vec

Yann LeCun, Léon Bottou, Yoshua Bengio, Patrick Haffner
Gradient-based learning applied to document recognition

Established a practical CNN architecture combining convolution, pooling and fully connected layers, and made MNIST the standard testbed

Yoshua Bengio, Patrice Simard, Paolo Frasconi
Learning long-term dependencies with gradient descent is difficult

Confirmed in theory and experiments that recurrent neural networks struggle to learn long-term dependencies, motivating the development of later architectures
