But I wouldn't call deep learning a "technology". DL is a branch of mathematics, technology (e.g programming language, ML framework) is secondary, and most important non-mathematical advancements in the field of DL are those in hardware, not in software.
- tnecniv 9y ago> DL is a branch of mathematics Don't tell the mathematicians that. There's a lot of informal DL floating around.
- allenz 9y agoI consider DL to be a technology. Of course there is DL theory, but most people doing DL are engineers. To say that most advancements are in hardware really trivializes the engineering breakthroughs made in computer vision, language understanding, robotics, etc. DL is enabled by better hardware, but it still requires a lot of work.
