A Peek at Trends in Machine Learning – Andrej Karpathy – Medium

Have you looked at Google Trends? It's pretty cool -- you enter some keywords and see how Google Searches of that term vary through time. I thought -- hey, I happen to have this arxiv-sanity database of 28,303 (arxiv) Machine Learning papers over the last 5 years, so why not do something similar and take a look at how Machine Learning research has evolved over the last 5 years? The results are fairly fun, so I thought I'd post. A good chunk of this post is about deep learning specifically, which is the subarea I am most familiar with.)
