Deep learning is a technology that has become an essential part of machine learning workflows. Capitalizing on improvements of parallel computing power and supporting tools, complex and deep neural networks that were once impractical are now becoming viable.

The emergence of powerful and accessible libraries such as Tensorflow, Torch, and Deeplearning4j has also opened development to users beyond academia and research departments of large technology companies. In a testament to its growing ubiquity, companies like Huawei and Apple are now including dedicated, deep learning-optimized processors in their newest devices to power deep learning applications.

Deep learning has proven its power across many domains. Most notably, Google’s AlphaGo was able to defeat human players in a game of Go, a game whose mind-boggling complexity was once deemed a near-insurmountable barrier to computers in its competition against human players. Flow Machines project by Sony has developed a neural network that can compose
