Computer vision researcher who created ImageNet, the dataset that launched the deep learning revolution.

Li co-created ImageNet, a large labeled image collection that became the benchmark for object recognition. When AlexNet cut the error rate at the 2012 ImageNet challenge, it proved that deep learning at scale could outperform hand-crafted vision pipelines.
