#12Earlier quoted context omitted.
Deep learning has become a buzzword that every CEO on the planet is going to put in his/her presentations. e.g Deep learning will allow us to identify new opportunities and capture more value from existing markets..blah blah blah.
is this the sexy re-brand that Machine Learning has been waiting for? (honest question.. are they the same thing?)
They are closely related but entirely different approaches. Most machine learning is relatively simple statistical models. Deep learning means ridiculously large models. Sometimes they have millions of parameters and require rooms full of GPUs running for weeks to train. But the capacity means they can learn far more complicated functions (like machine vision or language.)

'Deep learning' is the new 'big data'
Well, they are just trying to disrupt the big data space with enterprise level deep learning allowing better branding position and lessening inertia to allow quicker pivots. It makes sense to do this because we are at a inflection point where an autonomous thought leader can appropriate the mind share of the by market by leaning in to this space and bringing to bear value added innovation. Also, hacking. (passes out…
My firm offers the same service, but in a secure cloud.

#14Am I the only person who is worried that AI start-up companies are going to use AI to insert "deep learning" into every pitch deck possible?
I'm not worried, but the term "deep learning" is indeed lame. What does it even mean?
It is "an approach to AI based on enabling computers to learn from experience and understand the world in terms of a hierarchy of concepts, with each concept defined in terms of of its relation to simpler concepts." [1]

#15Having examples just executable from the website is invaluable, especially to excite more people. For fun:
Relatedness of Sentences (beta)
1 - not related at all
5 - an almost perfect paraphrase
Two men are taking a break from a trip on a snowy road
Two men are taking a break from a trip on a road covered by snow 4.05
Two men are taking a break from a trip on a road covered by rocks 4.13
Two men are taking a break from a trip on a road covered by mushrooms 4.23
Two men are taking a break from a trip on a road covered by hobbits 4.27
Plenty of work ahead :)

#16> “deep learning,” teaching machines to recognize images and understand natural language using software that operates a bit like the networks of neurons in the human brain.
'understand natural language'?
Very far from it...

Result 99% negative...

> he played a hit single
Relatedness 4.5, from 1-5

Machine learning isn't an approach, its an entire discipline. Deep learning is just a specific category of implementation of a subset (neural nets) of machine learning.
They aren't entirely different approaches, considering deep learning is a form of machine learning...

My firm offers an entire framework built around this service, except it is an enterprise version for 12000% more where the server is placed back into your company's data center.

#20Having spoken to Sven a few times, I think they are targeting industries/applications more specific than their website appears :)
If anything, I would consider this to be a competitor to Context Relevant and Alchemy API instead of Clarifai.
