Deep Learning – what is it? Why does it matter?

Have you ever wondered just what this phrase Deep Learning is referring to and why it matters? If so then this post is for you! In my last post, I demystified a variety of buzzwords, and explained that Deep Learning is a subset of Machine Learning. This post explores the world of deep learning for non-mathematicians. To understand Deep Learning, you must first understand a little about Artificial Neural Networks. I am not going to describe the mathematics behind it all.
