An Elevator Pitch on Deep Learning

Abstract

Machine learning improves all aspects of our life and very few days pass where we don't interact with a machine learning driven application. For example, we may use fitness trackers that monitor the quality of our sleep. Before leaving to work, we may check the weather forecast. To get to work, we use a navigation system that predicts the fastest route to our first meeting. On the road, we use voice commands to interact with our phone. Web searches and e-commerce recommendations are based on machine learning. Cameras detect faces when we take a picture and our email inboxes are protected by spam filters, which are designed using machine learning tools.
