Post written by Jeremy Fain – the CEO and co-founder of Cognitiv, the first neural network technology. In it he addresses what deep learning, machine learning and artificial intelligence is.
Machine learning basically involves giving data to an algorithm and then “training” it to perform a certain task, such as giving out movie recommendations based on a user’s past watching history.
Deep learning takes machine learning to the next level through the use of artificial neural networks. These networks are essentially layers of artificial “neurons” in a rough approximation of the way that human brains work.
Neural networks are explicitly engineered to be able to recognize complex patterns. AlphaGo Zero “managed to rediscover over 3,000 years of human knowledge around Go game in 72 hours”.
