deep learning

Coined by Israeli-American computer scientist Rina Dechter in 1986, in the context of backtracking in theorem proving. Later applied to multilayered (“deep”) neural networks by Geoffrey Hinton.

     Discovering all minimal conflict-sets amounts to acquiring all the possible information out of a dead-end. Yet, such deep learning may require considerable amount of work.

   • 2012 November 23, John Markoff, “Scientists See Promise in Deep-Learning Programs”, in New York Times‎^[1]:

     Deep learning was given a particularly audacious display at a conference last month in Tianjin, China, when Richard F. Rashid, Microsoft’s top scientist, gave a lecture in a cavernous auditorium while a computer program recognized his words and simultaneously displayed them in English on a large screen above his head.
