How deep is your love for deep learning? (via Passle)

We are living in an era driven by algorithms and more specifically deep learning algorithms which are beginning to pervading and potentially intruding every single facet of our personal and professional lives. When algorithms begin playing a commanding role in our everyday personal choices including clothes, shoes, movies, music, content, jobs, whatever and start dictating what is best for us and what is not, we have to concede that we are already in the midst of algorithms driven enlightenment, based on whichever camp we want to be in. Consider their application in myriad esoteric use cases - sorting and grading cucumbers; creating movie trailers; writing news articles; measuring productivity of cows; predicting students likely to drop out; optimizing soil nutrient levels and many more such use cases. To a battle for supremacy on the'senses' dimension against the human race including vision, speech and text, these algorithms are proving their mettle in every walk of human life. So it is really high time that we bow to the powers of these very powerful algorithms and be led by them in this algorithms-driven insights economy.
