Understanding Artificial Neural Networks

Since around November 2013, the term'deep learning' started gaining popularity, especially within the data science community. This trend comes shortly after the'big data' boom in 2010 and the'data science' boom in 2011. The upticks in interest are not surprising because companies now realized that they needed individuals who were capable of deciphering insights from the information tsunami that was now present. With data science now being referred to "almost everything that has something to do with data", the process of data utilization evolved beyond data collection and analysis. Now, it was possible to use large sets of data to accurately model events and create data applications.
