Changing the Nature of AI Research
The emergence of these large learned models is also changing the nature of AI research in fundamental ways.
Changing the Nature of AI Research Read MoreNeural Networks, also known as artificial neural networks (ANNs) or simulated neural networks (SNNs), are a subset of machine learning and are at the heart of deep learning algorithms. Their name and structure are inspired by the human brain, mimicking the way that biological neurons signal to one another.

Neural Networks are computing systems with interconnected nodes that work much like neurons in the human brain. Using algorithms, they can recognize hidden patterns and correlations in raw data, cluster and classify it, and – over time – continuously learn and improve.

Changing the Nature of AI Research Read MoreWe believe that deep networks excel because they exploit a particular form of compositionality in which features in one layer are combined in many different ways to create more abstract features in the next layer.
A key question for the future of AI is how do humans learn so much from observation alone?
