Dr Fei Fei Li's book The Worlds I See is a great read about both her life and the history of early AI and her role in it, which is major (Ilya was one of her phd students, along with the Alex of AlexNet) so if you don't already know the history of these systems, it's a great read. Very inspiring stuff. Great read and learned about it here so passing on the good word

  It's a good read but I believe you're mistaken. Ilya and Alex Krizhevsky worked with Hinton.
  You might be thinking of Andrej Karpathy as one of Li's more famous PhD students?

    yes, thank you for the correction! i read it when it came out, so it's been a while! fun to imagine karpathy labeling images versus what he's doing now!! her first edition (unsigned, tragically) sits on my shelf of reverence!)
