AI STRATEGY
had always been a pioneer in computational methods, the convergence of massive datasets from its satellites and space telescopes with GPU-accelerated deep learning promised to fundamentally reshape scientific discovery.
What is deep learning? Deep learning has transformed from an academic curiosity into the driving force behind the world’ s most ambitious scientific endeavours.
What began as mathematically elegant but computationally impossible neural networks in the 1960s has evolved into the backbone of modern AI, changing how we understand our planet, our universe and our place within it. Deep learning is a subset of machine learning( ML) that uses multi-layered artificial neural networks to analyse large data sets, learn complex patterns and make intelligent decisions autonomously: mimicking the human brain’ s ability to recognise features and improve over time without explicit programming.
In simple terms, it’ s a way computers learn by using layers of artificial neurons to recognise patterns, similar to the human brain.
