Introducing Deep Learning Into IT Industry

The term "deep learning" has firmly worked its way into the enterprise lexicon. Deep learning is a class of machine learning algorithms that uses a deep neural network in order to learn. A deep neural network is a collection of artificial neurons, which are simply trainable mathematical units. These neurons collectively "learn" complex mathematical functions to map raw input to an output. Neural networks have existed in machine learning since the 1950s, but today's "deep" networks have many more stacked layers of neurons than older networks.
