Working Towards Explainable AI
“The hardest thing to understand in the world is the income tax.” This quote comes from the man who came up with the theory of relativity – not exactly the easiest concept to understand. That said, had he lived a bit longer, Albert Einstein might have said “AI” instead of “income tax.” Einstein died in […]
A Brief History of Deep Learning
Deep Learning, is a more evolved branch of machine learning, and uses layers of algorithms to process data, and imitate the thinking process, or to develop abstractions. It is often used to visually recognize objects and understand human speech. Information is passed through each layer, with the output of the previous layer providing input for […]
