Deep learning is a type of machine learning that permits computer systems to be taught from experience and perceive the world by way of a hierarchy of concepts. Because the pc gathers data from expertise, there isn’t any want for a human laptop operator to formally specify all the knowledge that the pc wants. The hierarchy of ideas permits the computer to learn difficult concepts by building them out of easier ones; a graph of these hierarchies would be many layers deep.

It’s a nice way to think about first and last class sessions. In general, teachers probably do better with the first class. There’s the excitement that comes with a new beginning. A colleague said it this way: “Nothing bad has happened yet.” Most of us work hard to make good first impressions. But by the time the last class rolls around, everyone is tired, everything is due, and the course sputters to an end amid an array of last-minute details. Here are a few ideas that might help us finish the semester with the same energy and focus we mustered for the first class.
