The thing that's probably most exciting to me is that when one team makes progress on making these pattern-matching systems better, and we figure out how to make deep neural nets converge at 37 layers — something that people hadn't done before — then we publish that paper and other companies and teams can take that advance and now their systems are diagnosing diseases better, or driving cars better.
