What product breakthroughs will recent advances in deep learning enable? Deep learning techniques currently achieve state of the art performance in a multitude of problem domains (vision, audio, robotics, natural language processing, to name a few). Recent advances in Deep Learning also incorporate ideas from statistical learning [1,2], reinforcement learning (RL) [3], and numerical optimization. For a broad survey of the field, see [9,10]. In no particular order, here are some product categories made possible with today's deep learning techniques: customized data compression, compressive sensing, data-driven sensor calibration, offline AI, human-computer interaction, gaming, artistic assistants, unstructured data mining, voice synthesis.
