Connectionists: ?==?utf-8?q? Annotated History of Modern AI and Deep Learning

[Zhaoping Li]

I believe that good scientists are also good historians of science, or 
at least want to know what happened in the past in their field.
Being a good scientist helps one to be a better historian, example: 
Abraham Pais, so the best historians of science
must be good scientists.

I am interested in, and am very grateful to colleagues who help us to 
learn more about, the history of the field.
