Sara Hooker(@sarahookr):Very happy to see this profile of @hugo_larochelle Before I join Google Brain, I watched all his lectures from Sheffield. You have to remember at the time, all of the knowledge for deep learning belong to less then 100 people. He made it available to many more. He became my PhD advisor many years later. Hugo is an exceptional researcher, has shaped so much of our ecosystem.
