Why businesses should pay attention to deep learning

In this episode of the O'Reilly Data Show, I spoke with Christopher Nguyen, CEO and co-founder of Arimo. Nguyen and Arimo were among the first adopters and proponents of Apache Spark, Alluxio, and other open source technologies. Most recently, Arimo's suite of analytic products has relied on deep learning to address a range of business problems. When we started Arimo (our company name then was Adatao), the vision was about big data and machine learning. At the time, the industry had just refactored itself into what I call the'big data layer'--big data in the sense of the layer at the bottom, the storage layer.
