Visualizing the Deep Learning Revolution

The field of AI has undergone a revolution over the last decade, driven by the success of deep learning techniques. This post aims to convey three ideas using a series of illustrative examples:There have been huge jumps in the capabilities of AIs over the last decade, to the point where it’s becoming hard to specify tasks that AIs can’t do.This progress has been primarily driven by scaling up a handful of relatively simple algorithms (rather than by developing a more principled or scientific ...
