Backpropagation Rediscovered

Rumelhart, Hinton, and Williams published 'Learning Representations by Back-propagating Errors' in Nature, demonstrating that backpropagation could train multi-layer neural networks effectively. The same year, the PDP (Parallel Distributed Processing) group published their influential two-volume work on connectionism.
