Frank Chen: Deep learning replaces expert rule programming with data training
“We didn't have an expert say, here's how you find a cat with nose and paws and whiskers and this shaped eyes and these funny shaped ears. We basically just fed the network a bunch of data, and the data learned to categorize the inputs without any guidance from…”

Mars: Tech giants are building future data centers around deep learning
“Deep learning is absolutely the bet that companies are making, right? So Google has put a lot of resources into deep learning you know, Facebook. We're designing future data centers and future infrastructures around this one technique, and it's primarily becau…”

Instacart achieved dual 3-4% efficiency gains from traditional ML and deep learning
“Instacart uses prediction techniques to help get shoppers through the grocery store faster. They went through this in two waves. Wave one was they used traditional machine learning techniques. Things like gradient boosted decision trees. And they got a three o…”

Chen: Deep learning enables robots to cook from YouTube videos
“There are systems where robots are learning to cook food by watching YouTube videos of people cooking food. There's systems that can take photos and paint them in the style of Renoir or Van Gogh. There's algorithms that can create paintings that are indistingu…”

Chen: Deep learning represents the triumph of data over algorithms
“So the big trend is the triumph of data over algorithms. Which is you try to make more and more sophisticated edge detection algorithms, feature recognition algorithms. The big advance with deep learning was, screw all that. I'm not going to try to figure out …”

Sinofsky: Pure deep learning systems will emerge for translation and vision
“And that's an important point about just innovation in general, which is there will be massive innovation, and in fact, I fully expect to see pure deep learning approaches to translation, to image recognition, which is, you know, internet already is that, but …”

Andreessen: 2012 was the tipping point for machine learning breakthroughs
“An entire battery of techniques that people have known about for a long time, plus some new techniques have, in, in, in machine learning and deep learning, have really started to work. 20 12 was kind of the tipping point for that, and now it's really building …”

Chen: Deep learning replaces deterministic logic with probabilistic reasoning
“Programming has been functional and procedural, which is I have if loops and else loops, and I tell it, and what I'm trying to do is predict enough state so that the computer can make the right decision. If this, do that. Else do this, right? With the introduc…”

Butte: Pitching AI as a doctor replacement immediately alienates healthcare customers
“I think there are other kind of silly things that companies do sometimes that are unnecessary, like say things like physicians are going away, right, with AI and deep learning. Yeah, the greatest way to Make us not want to accept your product, right? That kind…”

Butte: Skin mole AI apps tackle easy problems, ignoring complex medicine
“Deep learning of moles, cancer. Because that seems like a very intuitive kind of problem, but that's an easy one. We have many, many harder problems in biology medicine, but they take time to learn, so you have to be patient.”

Siki Chen: Deep learning will enable non-verbal communication in VR
“There is a deep learning component that will make that happen. And those are the areas that we want to invest in, so that when you're in that experience with your friends, You can actually communicate both verbally from the audio cues, but non-verbally as well…”

Pande: Deep learning can process DNA sequences like one-dimensional images
“One thing that's interesting to think about is that you can think of DNA almost like a one-dimensional image, and so you can use the exact same technology now to put in DNA sequences, and maybe now you're not identifying a face, you're identifying whether some…”

Dylan Field: AI applications in scientific discovery are vastly underexplored
“When it comes to science, Just the applications of all this technology that's happening right now are still completely underexplored, whether it's, you know, using deep learning to get approximations of systems faster or figuring out how we can just accelerate…”

Altman: OpenAI continues achieving fundamental breakthroughs in deep learning and reasoning
“And deep learning has been this miracle that keeps on giving, and we have kept finding, like, breakthrough after breakthrough. Again, when we got the reasoning model breakthrough, like, I also thought that was like, we're never gonna get another one like that.…”
