Machine learning in general, and deep learning in particular, are producing more and more astonishing results in terms of the quality of predictions, feature detection, and classification. Many of these recent results have made the news. Such is the pace of progress, that some experts are worrying that machines will soon be more intelligent than humans. But I hope that any such fears you might have will be alleviated after you have read this book. For better or worse, we're still far from human-level intelligence.
In Chapter 2, Neural Networks, we mentioned how deep learning algorithms have occupied the leaderboard of the ImageNet competition. They are successful enough to make the jump from academia to industry. ...
