Welcome to Deep Learning for Everybody

Every time when I tell my friends that I study Artificial Intelligence and specialise in Deep Learning methods, they often end up with an amazed expression. Probably they're thinking: 'Wow this guy is a genius…'; or probably they just see me as another Computer Science nerdy guy. Many of you might have a sense that'AI', 'Machine Learning', 'Deep Learning' are concepts that could be understood with extremely strong mathematical background and programming knowledge -- and it is true if you really wish to master this field and become an industry leader like my idol Ian Goodfellow, who now works for Apple as a Machine Learning Director. However, what I notice is that many of you might actually want to know how'all those magic' works in AI, in a casual sense from an outsider's point of view. If you have been searching for articles about different concepts in AI, you would notice that a lot of which are enigmatic for beginners or'outsiders' -- full of jargons, sophisticated clauses and mathematical expressions, which definitely aren't the answer you're searching for.
