Push-Button Generation of Deep Neural Networks EE Times

Commercial options exist for Deep Neural Networks. CEVA, for one, has just announced its second generation CEVA Deep Neural Network (CDNN2) featuring its Network Generator. The term "deep learning" refers to using deep (multi-layer) artificial neural networks to make sense out of complex data such as images, sounds, and text. Until recently, this technology has been largely relegated to academia. Over the past couple of years, however, increased computing performance coupled with reduced power consumption and augmented by major strides in neural network frameworks and algorithms has thrust deep learning into the mainstream.
