Staying Grounded in the Hyped World of Deep Learning

It is a phrase that more and more executives and developers alike are hearing in stand-up meetings and the board room. Companies from Google to IBM to Microsoft, are investing millions of dollars and man-hours into the development of deep learning platforms and products and spending largely on advertising and marketing to show their efforts. While such developments promise very exciting ventures in the months and years to come, organizations and individuals need to remember that deep learning is still a field that is expanding and going through its growing pains. True success with deep learning depends on the how, the what and the why of its application across business lines. Dr. Sid J. Reddy reflects these exact sentiments in his article, "Deep Learning is only as good as its data."
