Machine learning , the field of artificial intelligence based on self-improving algorithms , is not overly new to the business world . But with techniques such as deep learning , an approach informed by the brain , increasingly coming to the fore , businesses are identifying new and potentially transformative uses for the technology .
A significant leap forward for deep learning came in 2012 , leading it to become the undisputed king of machine learning approaches . These included neural networks being shown to outperform other models in images and speech , while facial recognition took a step forward as Google trained its model to recognise that ubiquitous internet genre , cat videos . Following on from this , a new generation of important machine learning tools and software arrived , including Tensor- Flow in 2015 , while hardware costs decreased as the highly parallel nature of graphics processing units ( GPUs ) began to be taken advantage of ..
