????還有幾家科技創業公司正將深度學習技術用于實時分析醫療圖像，并提供諸如文本分析、計算機視覺及語音識別這類云計算服務項目。近年來，Twitter、Pinterest,、Dropbox、雅虎和谷歌等公司都收購了一些專攻深度學習技術的創業公司。IBM公司剛剛收購了一家位于丹佛，名為AlchemyAPI的初創企業，用以提升其Watson超級計算機的智能水平，并支持其全新的Bluemix云平臺（該平臺的理念是：開發者可以方便地將移動和網絡應用與云服務連接起來，借以打造一些智能應用，而無需再鉆研人工智能背后復雜的計算機科學）。

????不止于此。隨著消費級機器人、無人駕駛汽車及智能家居逐漸成為現實，深度學習技術也將如影隨形，為我們這些新玩具提供耳目和一些頭腦功能。美國國防部高級研究計劃局（DARPA）也在探索如何借助深度學習技術來實時理解龐大的情報信息流。

????我猜想，DARPA正在關注谷歌的FaceNet系統，并為之激動。（財富中文網）

????There are also several technology startups using deep learning to analyze medical images in real time, and to provide capabilities such as text analysis, computer vision, and voice recognition as cloud computing services. Twitter, Pinterest, Dropbox, Yahoo, and Google have all acquired deep learning startups in recent years. And IBM IBM -0.08% just bought a Denver-based startup called AlchemyAPI to help make its Watson system smarter and bolster its new Bluemix cloud platform. (The idea: Developers can easily connect mobile and web applications to cloud services and therefore build smart applications without ever studying the complex computer science that underpins artificial intelligence.)

????That’s not all. As consumer robots, driverless cars and smart homes become real, deep learning will be there, too, providing the eyes, ears, and some of the brains for our new toys. DARPA, the U.S. Department of Defense’s research agency, is also investigating how deep learning techniques might be able to help it make sense of the streams of communications crossing intelligence networks everyday.

????Something tells me it’s looking at Google’s FaceNet and getting pretty excited, too.
