Top 5 Deep Learning Trends That Will Dominate 2019

Deep learning a subset of machine learning comes under the realms of artificial intelligence (AI) and works by gathering huge datasets to make machines act like humans. Deep learning having immense potential uses machine learning to tackle new complex problems like speech, language and image recognition by giving machines the power to learn how features in the data combine into increasingly higher level, abstract forms. The deployment of neural networks has aided deep learning to produce optimized results. Deep learning has immense adaptability, like how Facebook uses deep learning to automatically find friends in an image and suggests the user to tag them.

The Bright Market for Deep Learning

According to a leading source, the deep learning market is expected to exceed $18 billion by 2024, growing at a CAGR of 42%. Deep learning algorithms have a huge potential and take messy data like video, images, audio recordings, and text to make business-friendly predictions. Deep learning systems form a strong foundation of modern online services, used by giants like Amazon to understand what the users say understanding speech and the language they use through Alexa virtual assistant or by Google to translate text when the users visit a foreign-language website.

2019 and years to come will be dominated by deep learning trends that will create a disrupting impact in the technology and business world, here are the Top 5 Deep Learning Trends that will dominate 2019.

1. Training Datasets Bias will Influence AI

Human bias is a significant challenge for a majority of decision-making models. The difference and variability of artificial intelligence algorithms are based on the inputs they are fed. Data scientists have come to a conclusion that even machine learning solutions have their own biases that may compromise on the integrity of their data and outputs. Artificial intelligence biases can go undetected for a number of reasons, prominently being training data biases. Bias in training datasets impacts real-world applications that have come up from the biases in machine learning datasets including poorly targeted web-based marketing campaigns, racially discriminatory facial recognition algorithms and gender recruiting biases on employment websites.

2. AI will Rise Amongst Business and Society

Gone are the times when AI was the toast of sci-fi movies, but technology has finally caught up with imagination and adaptability. In the present times, AI has become a reality and amazingly, business and society encounter some form of artificial intelligence in their everyday operations.

Deep learning has dramatically improved the way we live and interact with technology. Amazon's deep learning offering Alexa is powered to carry out a number of functions via voice interactions, like playing music, making online purchases and answering factual questions. Amazon's latest offering, AmazonGo that works on AI allows shoppers to walk out of a shop with their shopping bags and automatically get charged with a purchase invoice sent directly to their phone.

3. AI Reality, the Hype will Outrun Reality

Deep learning powered Robots that serve dinner, self-driving cars and drone-taxis could be fun and hugely profitable but exists in far off future than the hype suggests. The overhype surrounding AI and deep learning will propel venture capitalists to redirect their capital elsewhere to the next big thing like 4d printing or quantum computing. Entry bars for deep learning project investments will be higher and at that point, the AI bubble will plunge. To avoid that, technology needs to help users to recognize that AI, machine learning, and deep learning are much more than just buzzwords and have the power to make our every day much easier. Reality says the time is ripe to spend fewer efforts on the exploration of deep learning possibilities and instead focus on delivering solutions to actual, real-life problems.

4. Solving The 'Black Box' Problem with Audit Trails

AI and its adaptability come with one of the biggest barriers to its deployment particularly in regulated industries, is the explanation as to how AI reached a decision and gave its predictions. 2019 will mark a new era in creating AI audit trails explaining the nitty-gritties of how AI and deep learning reach a conclusion.

In the future times to come, AI will be explored and deployed for groundbreaking applications like drug discovery which can have a detrimental impact on human life if an incorrect decision is made. Thus, audit trails to AI and deep learning predictions are extremely important.

5. AI Innovations will be Built on Cloud Adoption Capabilities

Come 2019 and beyond and business enterprises will seek to improve their technological infrastructure and cloud hosting processes for supporting their machine learning and AI efforts. As deep learning makes businesses innovate and improve with their machine learning and artificial intelligence offerings, more specialized tooling and infrastructure will be needed to be hosted on the cloud to support customised use cases, like solutions for merging multi-modal sensory inputs for human interaction (like think sound, touch, and vision) or solutions for merging satellite imagery with financial data for enhanced trading capabilities.
