Quick takeaways
- Training shallow neural networks can be transformed into super-efficient algorithms that achieve the best accuracy on the first shot.
- Convex optimization theory can be used to find global optimum or close approximations for deep neural networks, but it requires increased computation time.
Deep dives
AI is the collective endeavor to create computer programs that mimic human intelligence
AI aims to simulate or mimic human intelligence by replicating human-like capabilities such as perception, planning, and problem-solving. Neural networks are currently synonymous with AI, although the lack of understanding of their inner workings presents challenges.
