How Deep Learning Works

How Deep Learning Works

Deep Learning is the core of a Machine Learning system, it is how a machine actually learns from data without much human intervention. In this post I am going to discuss how Deep Learning actually works with the data you give. The basis of a Deep Learning system are Neural Networks, they are the fundamental part of how a machine learns by itself. To understand how a Neural Network learns you need to understand how a Neural Network is structured. There are mainly 3 (or more) layers in the neural network1. Input Layer: Where the data to the network is…

Microsoft’s “parallel bets” strategy won the PC Wars. Will it work for AI?

Microsoft’s “parallel bets” strategy won the PC Wars. Will it work for AI?

The first IBM Personal Computer debuted in August 1981. It was also the first computer to use Microsoft’s MS-DOS operating system (technically, a nearly identical copy known as IBM PC DOS, also known as PC DOS or IBM DOS). At the time, Unix held a roughly 55% share of the market for operating systems running on personally owned devices; the rest was split between Xerox’s Alto (launched in 1973 for proto-PCs), CP/M (1974, for microcomputers), TRSDOS (1977, also microcomputers), Commodore KERNEL (1977, home computers), Atari DOS (1979, home computers), Apple’s DOS (1978, microcomputers), and SOS (1980, microcomputers). By 1985, MS-DOS…
