But if we could look inside, there would probably be a strong correlation with what we’d use to identify a dog or cat – fur, snouts, ears – as well as other weird non-intuitive features that maybe we don’t understand. -Kiarie explains that ‘deep learning’ is a type of machine learning. “Machine learning is a very rudimentary mimic of a neural network like a brain. The more neurons and data you have, the better your machine learning will work – it’s like having a bigger brain and more examples to learn from. The ‘deep’ refers to having multiple layers of simulated neurons in an artificial neural network. +Kiarie explains that ‘deep learning’ is a type of machine learning. “Deep learning algorithms are a very rudimentary mimic of a neural network like a brain.

Since starting at Dragonfly, Kiarie has been able to take a complex model and shrink it to get it working on a mobile phone without losing performance. This makes the model much cheaper to run, and removes the need to transmit data back to the servers”. - - - -
