What Killed the Curse of Dimensionality? – Hacker Noon

How does Deep Learning overcome this hurdle in machine learning and why? Data has dimensionality to it. The more dimensions that are added to the data, the more difficult it becomes to find patterns. Think about dimensionality as the range of movement of an animal you're playing tag with. If you're chasing an animal that can only move on the ground they can only go in 2 dimensions left or right(x), forward or backward(y).
