Is deep learning a necessary ingredient for artificial intelligence?
The earliest artificial neural network, the Perceptron, was introduced approximately 65 years ago and consisted of just one layer. However, to address solutions for more complex classification tasks, more advanced neural network architectures consisting of numerous feedforward (consecutive) layers were later introduced. This is the essential component of the current implementation of deep learning algorithms. It improves the performance of analytical and physical tasks without human intervention, and lies behind everyday automation products such as the emerging technologies for self-driving cars and autonomous chat bots.
Deep learning models achieve state-of-the-art performance in several computer vision and natural language processing tasks. If you want to become proficient in deep learning, you should first understand how neural networks work and then proceed to explore the different types and neural network architectures for specific tasks. To help you…
Performing a new task based solely on verbal or written instructions, and then describing it to others so that they can reproduce it, is a cornerstone of human communication that still resists artificial intelligence (AI). A team has succeeded in modelling an artificial neural network capable of this cognitive prowess.…
