Thank you to my alma mater ESIEE PARIS for awarding me the inaugural title of Professor Honoris Causa. I graduated from ESIEE in 1983, with a major in integrated circuit design. The plaque is actually a silicon wafer with the inscription etched in a layer of gold, produced in ESIEE's clean room!

[Cérémonie] 🎓 Ce soir, mercredi 26 juin 2024, ESIEE PARIS décerne son premier titre de Professeur Honoris Causa à Yann LeCun, diplômé de l’école, prix Turing, vice-président et « chief AI scientist » chez Meta. Yann Le Cun est également professeur à l’université de New-York. En présence de Jean Mairesse, Directeur Général de ESIEE Paris, et Daniel NABET, Président du Conseil d'école ESIEE Paris, Yann Le Cun a été honoré pour avoir façonné l'avenir de l'intelligence artificielle avec ses travaux pionniers sur le deep learning. Ses innovations, dont les premières versions de l'algorithme de rétropropagation du gradient développées à ESIEE Paris, ont révolutionné la vision par ordinateur, le traitement du langage naturel et bien plus encore. Cette distinction marque un moment historique alors que ESIEE Paris célèbre ses 120 ans. 🌐✨ Entre Yann Le Cun et ESIEE Paris, les collaborations se poursuivent : co-encadrement de thèses, co-écriture d’articles… Il est également Président du Conseil scientifique de ESIEE Paris, alignant la recherche de l’école avec celle de l’Université Gustave Eiffel. 🎥 Découvrez la web-série produite par ESIEE Paris en 2019 qui retrace l’histoire commune entre Yann Le Cun et ESIEE Paris : https://lnkd.in/gqE3K2Jz 👉 Voir le communiqué de presse : https://lnkd.in/e5vwBaYw #distinction #IA #DeepLearning #HonorisCausa #enseignement #Turing #IntelligenceArtificielle #AI

The question though is, why vanilla ray bans instead of Meta ray bans? ;)

Congrats Yann LeCun on this well deserved recognition of your incredible contributions to the field of machine learning and computational neuroscience. While I got hooked into the world of neural networks and possibilities of AI by the team of OpenAI Five, back in 2017 and especially in 2018 when we, as a professional team had the chance to play against "the machines", it was your work that has allowed me to connect the dots and start asking questions after questions (upon reading the Five paper I must say I felt it echoing your findings). Two of your papers that particularly stood out for me was your `89 publicatiton on "Generalization and Network Design Strategies" and `86 "Learning Process in an Asymmetric Threshold Network". I found it fascinating how you demonstrated the importatnce of incorporating architectural constraints to enhance the generalization capabilities of neraul networks. As this prompted me to start wondering about the capabilities of an interconnected network of super finetuned models acting as a council of experts... atoms forming molecules -- able to continuously learn. The possibilities are endless! Thanks for being awesome! Cheers!

A case where a University/College is fortunate to have a student who is bound to make his mark in history as a God Father of AI and frankly someone who changed the course of human civilization in some sense. My tribute to you Sir. Most certainly you are an icon of our times. My pranaam to you ( the mark of highest respect in Indian culture). Thank you Arnab

You are the best!!!! Leading us into the future!

Je vous souhaite beaucoup de succès

Yann LeCun well deserved, congrats! Once I advised a young AI entrepreneur he can find top talent among those with EE background, he laughed. And, here we are. You are the best example!
