CIFAR Neural Computation Program
Era: The Revival · 1990s–2010s
Beginning in 2004, a CIFAR program brought Geoffrey Hinton, Yann LeCun, Yoshua Bengio, and collaborators into regular exchange. It helped coordinate research that contributed to the deep-learning revival; it was not a single universal starting point.

Institutional history documents the 2004 CIFAR program that brought Hinton, LeCun, and Bengio together; it supports the revival context, not the milestone’s stronger conference claim.
