Deep learning continues to infiltrate the workplace - is it time to upskill?

Deep learning has a wide variety of applications and is said to be the fastest-growing area in artificial intelligence, which makes it an ideal area to upskill in. An analysis by McKinsey Global Institute shows that deep learning techniques can be applied across industries alongside more traditional analytics. It serves as an important technology for many industries, including insurance, healthcare, and retail, to name a few. Meanwhile, ODSC (Open Data Science Conference) -- which organises events to discuss data science and machine learning topics -- said large investment houses like JPMorgan Chase are using deep learning based text analytics for insider trading detection and government regulatory compliance. They add that it is rapidly transforming many industries including healthcare, energy, fintech, transportation, and many others, to rethink traditional business processes with digital intelligence.
