Enterprise AI: A Look at Three Fundamental Deep Learning Approaches

In the previous article in this series, "Diving into Machine Learning" we looked at some common approaches to machine learning, which is a subset of AI that provides systems with the ability to learn from data and improve over time without being explicitly programmed. In this latest article in our Enterprise AI series, we provide an overview of deep learning, which is a specific approach to the more general category of machine learning. As with other machine learning techniques, deep learning is an important building block for artificial intelligence in the enterprise. First, let's quickly review what machine learning is. Machine learning refers to the process of training a model, which is nothing more than a function that maps inputs (e.g., house size, customer preferences) to outputs (e.g., house value, new product recommendations).
