A subfield of artificial intelligence, machine learning (ML) uses algorithms to detect patterns in data and solve complex problems. Numerous fields and industries depend on machine learning daily to improve efficiency, accuracy, and decision-making. Recently, ML technologies have been reinforced by two subfields of their own: deep learning (DL) and computer vision. Read on for real-world examples […]
Working Towards Explainable AI
“The hardest thing to understand in the world is the income tax.” This quote comes from the man who came up with the theory of relativity – not exactly the easiest concept to understand. That said, had he lived a bit longer, Albert Einstein might have said “AI” instead of “income tax.” Einstein died in […]
A Brief History of Deep Learning
Deep Learning, is a more evolved branch of machine learning, and uses layers of algorithms to process data, and imitate the thinking process, or to develop abstractions. It is often used to visually recognize objects and understand human speech. Information is passed through each layer, with the output of the previous layer providing input for […]
A Brief History of Neural Networks
In the last few decades, neural networks have evolved from an academic curiosity into a vast “deep learning” industry. Deep learning uses neural networks, a data structure design loosely inspired by the layout of biological neurons. These neural networks are constructed in layers, and the inputs from one layer are connected to the outputs of […]
Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Data Protection
Artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques are altering the way organizations gather, process, and protect data. They are being used to gather massive amounts of information about internet users in the form of big data, and to secure and protect it. The challenge is how to maximize the use of big data, while simultaneously safeguarding […]
Artificial Neural Networks: An Overview
Neural networks and deep learning currently provide some of the most reliable image recognition, speech recognition, and natural language processing solutions available. However, it wasn’t always that way. One of the earliest and simplest teaching philosophies for artificial intelligence was marginally successful. It suggested that loading the maximum amount of information into a powerful computer […]
Deep Learning Updates: Machine Learning, Deep Reinforcement Learning, and Limitations
In recent years, some astonishing technological breakthroughs in the field artificial intelligence (AI) and its sub-field deep learning have begun to train machines to behave like humans. As machines are increasingly emulating complex cognitive functions such as deductive reasoning, inferences, and informed decision-making, robots functioning as humans are a reality in many industry practices today. […]
What Is Deep Learning?
Deep Learning is a type of Machine Learning, using neural networks to grasp complex patterns. This type of technology allows Artificial Intelligence systems to perform human like tasks, “such as recognizing real-life objects or understanding speech.” While the operation of these brain-inspired networks remains inscrutable, their interconnected layers algorithms give machines the ability to be […]
Deep Learning and Analytics: What is the Intersection?
Emergent artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, especially the automated algorithms populating analytics platforms, are impacting and reshaping the world of business analytics. The underlying connections between traditional analytics processes and the disruptive technologies will make you cheer if you happen to be a data scientist or a business analyst — because your redefined role in the […]
Deep Neural Networks, Big Data, AI, and the Road to Autonomous Systems
Autonomous driving – green light, red light, or yellow? Earlier this year Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the future is now. By the middle of 2020, he said at an event for investors, Tesla’s autonomous system will have improved to the point where drivers will not have to pay attention to the road. He revealed […]
