The first revolution took place 1958-1969.

• We figured out how to train perceptrons.
• We proved the perceptron convergence theorem.
• Interest waned after a book (Perceptrons) written by mathematicians.

The second revolution took place 1986-1995.

• We figured out how to train multi-layer perceptrons.
• We proved the universal approximation theorem.
• Interest waned after a book (SLT) written by mathematicians.

The third revolution started in 2012.

• We figured out how to train deep nets.
• A mathematician will write a book around 2022.
• The fourth revolution will not start until 2036 :)
