Global Bigdata Conference

In a recent Scientific American article entitled "Springtime for AI: The Rise of Deep Learning," computer scientist Yoshua Bengio explains why complex neural networks are the key to true artificial intelligence as people have long envisioned it. It seems logical that the way to make computers as smart as humans is to program them to behave like human brains. However, given how little we know of how the brain functions, this task seems more than a little daunting. So how does deep learning work? Evidently, these so-called "hidden layers" play a key role in breaking down visual components to decode the image as a whole.
