Hype & Disadvantages of Neural Networks – Towards Data Science

Deep Learning enjoys its current hype for four main reasons. These are data, computational power, the algorithms itself and marketing. We will discuss each of them in the following sections. One of the things that increased the popularity of Deep Learning is the massive amount of data that is available in 2018, which has been gathered over the last years and decades. This enables Neural Networks to really show their potential since they get better the more data you fed into them.
