Speech Recognition Breakthrough

Era: The Revival · 1990s–2010s

Microsoft Research and Bell Labs pioneered the first major deep-learning breakthrough in speech recognition (Dahl, Yu, Deng 2011; Mohamed, Dahl, Hinton 2012), achieving significant word-error-rate reductions. Google deployed DNN/LSTM-based speech recognition in production starting in 2012–2015.
