'Deep learning' process befuddles top Google engineers - AI creeping in? 11/16/2013 - 00:00 Google no longer understands how its "deep learning" decision-making computer systems have made themselves so good at recognizing things in photos.This means the internet giant may need fewer experts in future as it can instead rely on its semi-autonomous, semi-smart machines to solve problems all on their own.The claims were made at the Machine Learning Conference in San Francisco on Friday by Google software engineer Quoc V. Le in a talk in which he outlined some of the ways the content-slurper is putting "deep learning" systems to work."Deep learning" involves large clusters of computers ingesting and automatically classifying data, such as pictures. Google uses the technology for services like Android voice-controlled search, image recognition, and Google translate, among others.
