11. Textual Understanding
“This movie should have NEVER been made. From the poorly done
animation, to the beyond bad acting. I am not sure at what point the
people behind this movie said "Ok, looks good! Lets do it!" I was in
awe of how truly horrid this movie was.”

12. General Machine Learning Approaches
o Learning by labeled example: Supervised Learning
o e.g. An email spam detector
o amazingly effective if you have lots of examples
o Discovering patterns: Unsupervised Learning

o Feedback right/wrong: Reinforcement Learning
o e.g. learning to play chess by winning or losing
o works well in some domains, becoming more important

15. Basic Idea of Deep Learning
Is there some way to extract meaningful features from data
even without knowing the task to be performed?
Then, throw in some hierarchical ‘stuff’ to make it ‘deep’

18. Deep Learning Definitions
Deep learning is characterized as a class of machine learning algorithms that
o use a cascade of many layers of nonlinear processing units for feature
extraction and transformation.
o are based on the learning of multiple levels of features or representations of
the data.
o are part of the broader machine learning field of learning representations of
data.
o learn multiple levels of representations that correspond to different levels of
abstraction;
