How Deep Learning Machines Program Themselves – Saad Hussain – Medium

In my last post, I discussed the state of confusion around deep learning and its abilities. Also, how even software programmers have a hard time understanding how deep learning enables machines to program themselves. In this post, I will try to explain probably the hardest to understand deep learning concept i.e. how deep learning machines program themselves without any human intervention. Since the advent of software programming, humans have been writing code to program the behavior of machines. In other words, the behavior of a machine only changes when the machine is reprogrammed by a human through new lines of code.
