Google says machine learning is the future. So I tried it myself

If deep learning will be as big as the internet, it's time for everyone to start looking closely at it

The world is quietly being reshaped by machine learning. We no longer need to teach computers how to perform complex tasks like image recognition or text translation: instead, we build systems that let them learn how to do it themselves.

"It's not magic," says Greg Corrado, a senior research scientist at Google. "It's just a tool. But it's a really important tool."
