The Impact of Deep Learning on AI Research in Non-Elite Universities

Non-AI universities have slightly increased their presence in AI conferences. But when you think about the overall number of the papers that are being published and related to their counterfactual, they have actually reduced their presence pretty significantly. So we think this provides some suggestive evidence that deep learning and in particular access to computing power might be a reason why non-elite universities are lagging behind in AI research. Definitely.
