Smart Software: A Semi History
February 25, 2015
Wondering how smart software came to be, how it works, what it can do? Navigate to “The Believers.” There’s information about a number of smart software initiatives, but I enjoyed the Google references.
For example, Geoffrey Hinton A 67 year old Googler shares some ideas and is quoted as saying, “Well, I design the neural networks that recognize what you say.” Zen like.
I noted this statement: “If you want to understand how the mind works, ignoring the brain is probably a bad idea.”
The write up reveals: “Google uses deep learning in dozens of products.”
The end of the article is interesting. The author learns that a machine is better than the author at recognizing two numbers.
