Deep learning is Silicon Valley's latest and greatest attempt at training artificial intelligence to understand the world by using data to train algorithmic models with many layers of processing. One promising approach to building such layers is to loosely imitate how neurons in the brain work. And a startup called Nervana Systems, based in San Diego, aims to make such neural-network-based deeplearning AI even more widely available by turning it into a cloud service.
