Introducing Cloud Hosted Deep Learning Models

Thanks to an abundance of digital data, and powerful GPUs, we are now capable of teaching computers to read, see, and hear. Just this year, a handful of high-profile experiments came into the spotlight, including Microsoft Tay, Google DeepMind AlphaGo, and Facebook M. These experiments all relied on a technique known as deep learning, which attempts to mimic the layers of neurons in the brain's neocortex. This idea – to create an artificial neural network by simulating how the neocortex works – has been around since the 1980s. During the training process, the algorithm learns to discover useful patterns in the digital representation of data, like sounds and images.
