Facebook Puts Deep Learning in the Palm of Your Hand (fortune.com)
Facebook has built a simple-looking video tool to show off a sophisticated use of artificial intelligence on cell phones. From a report on Fortune: During an event at its office in Menlo Park, Calif., last Friday afternoon, Facebook CTO Mike Schroepfer showed off software that takes a live Facebook video feed from a cell phone and converts the image in real time into a selection of artistic styles, such as that of Van Gogh. It might sound like a simple filter, but usually, an algorithm of this nature would need to send that type of information back to a server in a data center to process the pixels on more powerful machines. The Facebook crew crafted a less power-hungry and computing-intensive deep learning system they call "Caffe2Go," that uses the computing power in a cell phone. Facebook's Schroepfer showed the algorithm and other applications of artificial intelligence at the Web Summit conference in Lisbon, Portugal on Tuesday. Last Friday, he called the system a "pretty big leap" and "a real neural net running on a phone in real time."
....we are calling computer programs "Deep Learning" and "AI" now?
Not all programs. But if you give a program an objective, and it figures out on its own how to get there, then that is machine learning, which is a branch of AI. If it uses a neural net with more than one hidden layer, then it is "deep learning". That is what the term means.
Apparently I am an expert in "Deep Learning".
If you don't even understand the terminology, then you are not an "expert".
