Smart Software: There Are Only a Few Algorithms
September 27, 2018
I love simplicity. The write up “The Algorithms That Are Currently Fueling the Deep Learning Revolution” certainly makes deep learning much simpler. Hey, learn these methods and you too can fire up your laptop and chop Big Data down to size. Put digital data into the digital juicer and extract wisdom.
Ah, simplicity.
The write up explains that there are four algorithms that make deep learning tick. I like this approach because it does not require one to know that “deep learning” means. That’s a plus.
The algorithms are:
- Back propagation
- Deep Q Learning
- Generative adversarial network
- Long short term memory
Are these algorithms or are these suitcase words?
The view from Harrod’s Creek is that once one looks closely at these phrase one will discover multiple procedures, systems and methods, and math slightly more complex than tapping the calculator on one’s iPhone to get a sum. There is, of course, the issue of data validation, bandwidth, computational resources, and a couple of other no-big-deal things.
Be a deep learning expert. Easy. Just four algorithms.
