Deep Learning is a superpower . With it you can make a computer see , synthesize novel art , translate languages , render a medical diagnosis , or build pieces of a car that can drive itself . If that isn’t a superpower, I don’t know what is. What is deep learning? The field of artificial intelligence is essentially when machines can do tasks that typically require human intelligence. It encompasses machine learning, where machines can learn by experience and acquire skills without human involvement. Deep learning is a subset of machine learning where artificial neural networks, algorithms inspired by the human brain, learn from large amounts of data. Similarly to how we learn from experience, the deep learning algorithm would perform a task repeatedly, each time tweaking it a little to improve the outcome. We refer to ‘deep learning’ because the neural networks have various (deep) layer...
