The Future of Deep Learning – Towards Data Science

Machine learning, and by extension deep learning, has without a doubt seen its influence across many different industries. Even if you have never worked with it, and know nothing about it, chances are that you have used it; either directly through a chat-bot or indirectly in detection of spam and malware. This piece will largely be based on a a talk by Andrew NG about this very topic, he talks about two trends in the deep learning community; scale and end to end deep learning. For most people even mildly interested in deep learning, scale wouldn't come as a surprise. Over the last 10 to 20 years we have acquired a lot more data.
