Artificial Intelligence has rapidly become one of the most important fields of science, with applications ranging from image recognition and natural language processing to self-driving cars and robotics. However, its evolution has been following the same patterns as the famous Moore’s law. The roots of deep learning can be traced back to the early days of artificial intelligence research when neurons were being imagined as a unit of intelligence, where pioneers in the field laid the groundwork for the development of neural networks and other machine learning algorithms.
In this article, we will explore the early contributions to the development of… Read the full blog for free on Medium.
