When and how to get started with deep learning in digital transformation programs

Some recent surveys and predictions show that an increasing number of enterprises are making investments in all forms of AI and there is a growing interest in experimenting with deep learning. I spoke with O'Reilly Media's chief data scientist, Ben Lorica on the state of deep learning in the enterprise to get further insights. "It's a bit early to judge AI," says Ben who believes that many enterprises that have data science and machine learning groups will extend their experimentation and explore deep learning. Deep learning lies at the intersection of big data, big model, and big compute. It requires a large volume of training data and knowledge of how to configure deep learning algorithms.
