End-to-end learning

As explained in Sutskever's List

End-to-end training is a training approach that learns a complete mapping from raw inputs to outputs without separately engineered intermediate representations.

End-to-end learning trains a complete mapping from raw inputs to outputs, allowing the model to learn intermediate representations instead of relying on separately engineered features. Its breakthrough in computer vision came when AlexNet learned directly from raw images and overturned decades of handcrafted approaches. section 1.1

AlexNet and ImageNet

In September 2012, Alex Krizhevsky, Ilya Sutskever, and Geoffrey Hinton trained a convolutional neural network for ImageNet classification. AlexNet dramatically reduced error rates in the ILSVRC, providing compelling evidence that end-to-end neural training could outperform established vision pipelines. section 1.1

How Sutskever's List covers it

How deep it goes
Explains the approach conceptually through a landmark result rather than detailing architecture, optimization, or training mechanics.
Examples
Uses AlexNet’s 2012 ImageNet and ILSVRC victory as its central example.
What you can do after
Evaluate why end-to-end neural training became a turning point in computer vision.
How it connects
Connects end-to-end learning with convolutional neural networks, image classification, raw images, and handcrafted computer vision.
