About the Technology
Machine learning has made remarkable progress in latest years. We went from near-unusable speech and image recognition, to near-human accuracy. We went from machines that couldn’t beat a serious Go player, to defeating a world champion. At the back of this progress is deep learning—a combination of engineering advances, best practices, and theory that enables a wealth of prior to now not possible smart applications.
About the Book
