Why deep learning?

Deep learning has been recognised as one of the ten breakthrough technologies according to MIT technology review. Today deep learning is one of the hottest and fastest-growing areas of research in AI and machine learning. World leading high-tech companies including Microsoft, Google, Facebook, IBM, Apple and many more, are continuing to invest billions of dollars in deep learning research, for pioneering next-generation data-driven solutions to a whole range of challenging applications. The latter include automatic pattern recognition, image segmentation, classification, object detection and tracking, intention modelling, deception detection, data and cyber-security, healthcare, remote sensing, quantum and cloud computing, and lots more!

Deep learning uses multi-layered deep neural networks (DNNs) to automatically learn multiple levels of abstraction and representation that can extract and reveal hidden information, patterns, trends and correlations in heterogeneous Big Data, such as very high resolution images, sound, and text.

Hands-on training and understanding of cutting-edge deep learning technologies can open up untapped market opportunities for both existing businesses and entrepreneurs/startups of tomorrow!
