Why go large with Data for Deep Learning? – Towards Data Science

Eating a bowl of noodles has never been easy for me. Now I don't blame the chopsticks (yet to learn how to use'em) but my aversion towards the cabbage in the noodles. Sorting through those yummy strands, I neatly pick out the shreds of cabbage before gobbling the entire lot. How did I differentiate a strip of cabbage from a thread of noodle? Would have never given it a thought, if not for the growing importance of imitating the model of the human neurons in the technological space. In an attempt to replicate the much-marveled human intelligence, voluminous efforts are taken to turn machines into rational mortal-like beings.
