about the technology
Machine learning has made remarkable progress in recent years. We've gone from near-unusable speech recognition, to near-human accuracy. From machines that couldn't beat a serious Go player, to defeating a world champion. Medical imaging diagnostics, weather forecasting, and natural language question answering have suddenly become tractable problems. Behind this progress is deep learninga combination of engineering advances, best practices, and theory that enables a wealth of previously impossible smart applications across every industry sector
