I disagree. I think we might soon be at a point where someone might be able to get a job just knowing how to use CNNs well. Why do I think this? Well .. CNNs have basically licked the problem of image classification. They require a lot of trial and error. So .. I can totally see people packaging this up (e.g. NVidia's DIGITS or TStreamer), and CNN skills become sort of like Word/MS Office for some industrial applications. These people won't get paid 500K .. more like what web developers make. Just my personal opinion.
- rawnlq 10y agoI think you're right that the barrier is a lot lower now that there is a somewhat successful blackbox abstraction. In the past you need to know that to recognize lines: hough transform, recognize polygons: line simplification, recognize face: cascades, etc etc. Now? You can almost just feed it arbitrary labeled training data and do well without any sort of feature engineering. Just another api to glue.
- partycoder 10y agoOf course there will be more packaged applications, but I don't see them being something as low level as a CNN. More like applications of them such as speech recognition, translation, motion control, etc. Things that you can actually treat as a black box and integrate them into a system. Would someone in their right mind create a self driving car product with the help of someone who learned deep learning from a blog or youtube? probably not.
