Smart machines learn by playing games, making mistakes and learning from them. To solve new challenges not stored in past experience, machines create new paths through data.  Machines learn quickly, forge their way in unanticipated directions through the neural network frameworks constructed by Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc.  This burrowing through networks of neuron-aping nodes, called deep-learning sometimes results in […]
