      Deep learning - PAT NAKAMOTO

      Introduction

      A sinister threat is brewing deep inside the technology laboratories of Silicon Valley. Artificial Intelligence, disguised as helpful digital assistants and self-driving vehicles, is gaining a foothold—and it could one day spell the end for mankind.

      ELLIE ZOLFAGHARIFARD, Mail Online

      Which is the soaring topic that has the power to bring together mathematicians, statisticians, computer scientists, software engineers, neuroscientists and doctors?

      Deep Learning problems involve more people than you may think, and bring together all those who are willing to share their passion with everyone else. This is how, in recent years, this new fashionable word has emerged in the field of Artificial Intelligence: Deep Learning.

      Recently, in fact, research in the Deep learning field has attracted great interest, especially among the companies that have started to carry out a real treasure hunt in order to find experts in topics ranging from Machine Learning to Deep Learning. The roles associated with these two areas are more and more often associated with the figure of the so-called Data Scientist.

      To help you understanding what has been going on in the last 5 years in the world of Deep Learning, we can take a quick look at the data regarding the word Deep Learning on Google Trends, in the period between 2012 and 2017.

      Worldwide, this is what the search engine data for some popular high tech ‘buzzwords’ looks like.

      C:\Users\Erica-account\Desktop\KINDLE STAR\30_ DEEP LEARNING\ab.jpg

      As you can observe, ‘Machine Learning’ hype is growing fast, and has arrived to match ‘Big Data’. In popularity. If we restrict the research to the only United States, we can see that actually has already outclassed it. A big hype moment for our topic has been the beginning of last year, when the famous software Alpha-Go defeated the South Korean champion Lee Se-dol in the renowned table game ‘Go’. After machine learning defeated a human champion, the terms linked to ‘Artificial Intelligence’ in general all gained exponential popularity.

      While I appreciate a lot the 'theoretical' part, ML and DL belong to that category of disciplines in which it is better to work a great deal on practice, to arrive only after that to the theoretical and mathematical part behind it.

      The reason why I wrote this book is that I believe that starting directly from the mathematical texts to understand the themes of overfitting, of Stochastic Gradient Descent, or of Convolutions will not favor progress in learning.

      Vice versa, if you start from practical problems, after a few weeks you will appreciate what you are doing and reading complex math texts will be fully appreciated and less ‘theoretical’.

      Before diving into this exciting world, I want to explain that the goal of this book is to offer information that is highly informative, yet accessible to anyone - which entails using many generalizations, so bear with me, generalizations/some degree of simplification may be necessary. Nevertheless, if this guide can make someone more passionate about Deep Learning, my mission can be considered as fulfilled.

      Chapter 1.  An overview of Deep Learning

      Notes to this Chapter

      The aim of this Chapter is to lay out for you a general framework so that you can easily locate Deep Learning concepts and relate them with other fields in the Artificial Intelligence realm.

      Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Deep Learning

      Before defining Deep Learning, you must know that it has developed as sub-niche of the broader field of Artificial Intelligence. Since there is no single definition for Artificial Intelligence, and there is not even a broad consensus among researchers and computer scientists on how it can be defined, we can say that Artificial Intelligence includes a great number of topics ranging from pure computer science to neurology.

      In general, AI is the science that aims at creating increasingly intelligent machines, and is finding the tools to achieve this result through the innovations offered by Information Technology.

      So what does creating increasingly intelligent machines entail?

      Simplifying, in human beings intelligence is the set of abilities that allow us to think, to understand actions and facts, to be able to explain them, and to elaborate abstract models starting from reality. These processes lead to the ability to obtain a result of some kind, with various levels of efficiency depending on the case. When coming to machines though, a completely new set of challenges arise: for instance, a computer nowadays can detect in a database of thousands of images all
