Empowered by the latest generation of commodity computing\, Deep Learning begins to derive significant value from Big Data. It has already radically improved the computer’s ability to recognize speech and identify objects in images\, two fundamental hallmarks of human intelligence. \nIndustry giants such as Google\, Facebook\, and Baidu have acquired most of the dominant players in this space to improve their product offerings. At the same time\, startup entrepreneurs are creating a new paradigm\, Intelligence as a Service\, by providing APIs that democratize access to Deep Learning algorithms.
