"Using massive amounts of data to recognize photos and speech, deep-learning computers are taking a big step towards true artificial intelligence. [...] Deep learning itself is a revival of an even older idea for computing: neural networks. These systems, loosely inspired by the densely interconnected neurons of the brain, mimic human learning by changing the strength of simulated neural connections on the basis of experience."
