Episode notes
Computation Was The Original Bottleneck
- Human-level perception and cognition require enormous computation and math, which historically made AI impractical.
- Advances in algorithms and hardware reduced runtimes from lifetimes to feasible durations.
What Deep Learning Actually Is
- Deep learning is a subset of machine learning that uses multi-layer neural networks organized into layers of nodes.
- These networks learn features from examples and output a confidence vector used to make predictions or classifications.
Teaching A Child Versus Training A Network
- Will Ramey tells a story about his young son learning vehicle names by seeing examples on the road.
- He compares that to training neural networks with labeled image datasets to recognize cars and trucks.
