Deep learning is an emerging topic in artificial intelligence (AI). A subcategory of machine learning, deep learning deals with the use of neural networks to improve things like speech recognition, computer vision, and natural language processing. In the last few years, deep learning has helped forge advances in areas as diverse as object perception, machine translation, and voice recognition-all research topics that have long been difficult for AI researchers to crack. In information technology, a neural network is a system of programs and data structures that approximates the operation of the human brain. A neural network usually involves a large number of processors operating in parallel, each with its own small sphere of knowledge and access to data in its local memory.

We are going to solve an overly simple, and unrealistic problem, which has the upside of making understanding the concepts of ML and TF easy. We want to predict a single scalar outcome, house price (in) based on a single feature, house size (in square meters, sqm). This eradicates the need to handle multi-dimensional data, enabling us to focus solely on defining a model, implementing, and training it in TF. We start with a set of data points that we have collected (chart below), each representing the relationship between two values --an outcome (house price) and the influencing feature (house size). However, we cannot predict values for features that we don't have data points for (chart below) We can use ML to discover the relationship (the'best-fit prediction line' in the chart below), such that given a feature value that is not part of the data points, we can predict the outcome accurately (the intersection between the feature value and the prediction line.

Summary: Which of these terms means the same thing: AI, Deep Learning, Machine Learning? While there's overlap none of these is a complete subset of the others and none completely explains the others. Which of the following are substantially the same things? For as precise a profession as we data scientists purport to be we are sometimes way too casual with our language. Read several articles about AI, Deep Learning, and Machine learning and you will come away confused whether these are all the same or all different.

According to the 2016 Gartner Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies, machine learning is at the very "peak of inflated expectations," the highest point in the S-curve that Gartner awards technologies in its Hype Cycle reports. Many machine learning advocates may feel betrayed to think that machine learning is at the peak of its hype cycle, thinking that analysts like Gartner believe machine learning to be all fluff and no substance. But that is not the case. Many emerging technologies never actually make it to the peak of the hype cycle, fizzling out long before they can make a true impact. In reality, technologies that make it to the peak of the hype cycle are almost ready for universal deployment.

Chatbots have been around for decades. There are 18,000 of them on Facebook Messenger alone, with over 1,000 chatting away on Kik in the past six months. Slack has deployed countless bots to help humans get work done in groups since 2013. We've seen a critical mass for the first time, but -- as with any disruptive tech -- there are stages. This first generation of chatbots were derived from common programming languages.

"That sounds like sci-fi…!" is a term that gets bandied around a lot. Yet in the case of quantum computing, the really weird thing is just how recent the whole idea is. In fact, the concept wasn't invented until the early 1980s by Nobel-prize winning physicist Richard Feynman in a paper entitled "Simulating physics with computers". And sci-fi didn't get its teeth into it until the early 1990s – although, Multivac the supercomputer in Isaac Asimov's 1956 short story "The Last Question" from 1956, does show some parallels. These days everyone is getting on the bandwagon.

If you're wondering why a company's staff lacks diversity, you might want to take a look at the computers behind their hiring process. Corporations are using technology in the hiring process in order to remedy historical and routine applicant discrimination, but the same technology can end up simply reinforcing this discrimination, said postdoctoral research associate Solon Barocas during "The Intersection of Data and Poverty," a Philly Tech Week 2016 presented by Comcast symposium organized by Community Legal Services and Philadelphia Legal Assistance and held at Montgomery McCracken Walker & Rhoads in Center City. Barocas spoke on a panel about "How Big and Open Data Harms the Poor," which was focused on the unintended consequences of data technology on vulnerable populations. Companies that use machine learning and big data in their hiring process use "training data," which is typically taken from prior and current employees. A statistical process then automatically discovers the traits that correlate to high performance among the training data and looks for those traits in the applicant pools. "For more and more companies, the hiring boss is an algorithm," a 2012 Wall Street Journal article reads.

Artificial intelligence and robots are great at crunching numbers and performing repetitive tasks, but it's tough to replicate human qualities like creativity and strategic thinking, says James Paulsen, an economist and strategist at Wells Capital Management. "One way to reconcile low productivity growth, with alarm about robots, is that businesses are spending a lot of time learning about the technology," says Fernald. So companies had little incentive to spend more to improve labor efficiency. And the best way to protect yourself is by learning skills they have a tough time mastering, like creativity and strategic thinking.
