Deep learning on the brink of expansion

Deep learning will be a key driver of performance in demand, fraud and failure predictions by 2019, according to Gartner. The technology builds upon machine learning with the provision of intermediate data representations. Applications changing focus to predictive analysis from image, text and audio processing need business buy-in, infrastructure and talented data scientists. Approximately 80% of data scientists believe the variation of machine learning will be part of their tool kits by next year. Although deep learning and machine learning offer tremendous data processing capabilities, Gartner cautioned that the technologies are not a replacement for human workers.
