Dup-risk stub: the LeCun-1989/Werbos-1968 note pair (cosine 0.87) is cluster density, not a bridge

Sejnowski is the real bridge between NETtalk and the DjVu-freed NIPS archive — a person and an institution, not a shared document

Did LeCun's 1988 paper use hand-designed rather than learned convolutional kernels, and is that the basis for calling 1989 the first end-to-end trained convnet?

Before their Turing Awards, LeCun, Bottou, and Bengio co-built DjVu, a scanned-book compression format now retired at the Internet Archive

Capture: Which appeared first — LeCun et al.'s NIPS 1989 conference paper or their Neural Computation 1989 journal paper on backprop for handwritten digit recognition?

The founding 1998 DjVu document-compression paper was co-authored by Yann LeCun and Yoshua Bengio — two future 2018 Turing Award recipients — alongside Léon Bottou at AT&T Labs

By Yann LeCun's own account, DjVu was built to distribute high-resolution scans cheaply over the early internet, demoed by freely releasing the NIPS proceedings at nips.djvu.org

LeCun et al.'s two 1989 ZIP-code papers appeared in a bimodal order: the NIPS conference paper was presented first (Nov 1989), the Neural Computation article was printed first (Dec 1989), and the NIPS proceedings volume only appeared in 1990

Myth ledger: "LeCun's 1988 paper used hand-designed convolutional kernels" — the 1988 hand-designed-kernel ZIP-code paper was Denker et al., not LeCun
