Sepp Hochreiter

Professor and Head of the Institute for Machine Learning at Johannes Kepler University Linz
Co-founder and Chief Scientist at NXAI
Hochreiter discovered why early neural networks struggled to remember events far back in a sequence, then co-created LSTM to solve the problem. LSTM went on to power major advances in speech, translation, and handwriting recognition and remains one of the landmark designs in deep learning.
