Sorry but I don't think "AI winter" as a term
is appropriate here.
The "AI winter" as I know it was around 1988.
I've still vintage issues of "AI Expert" and other publications of the time (which I kept for their great linocut-style artwork, and because they were expensive items here around).
Back then it wasn't so much about ML (aka "Deep Learning") but anything Prolog, expert systems, artificial neural nets and their generalizations, and Lisp.
