Ask HN: Which recent research paper blew your mind?
Someone managed to GPU-accelerate program synthesis, a form of symbolic ML. First time for ML that is not deep learning:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;dl.acm.org&#x2F;doi&#x2F;10.1145&#x2F;3591274" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;dl.acm.org&#x2F;doi&#x2F;10.1145&#x2F;3591274</a><p>Deep learning took off precisely when the  ImageNet paper dropped around 2010.
Before nobody believed that backprop can be  GPU-accelerated.
