Machine Learning and Deep Learning - Know the Difference

Machine learning is a subset of AI that focuses on the design of a system. It can learn and make decisions or predictions based on the experience which is data in case of machines. It enables a computer to act and make data-driven decisions rather than being explicitly programmed to carry out a specific task. These programs are designed to learn and improve over time when exposed to new data.
For example, while shopping online and checking for a product, you must have come across or would have noticed a line saying “the people who bought this, also bought…” giving you recommendations. Moreover, have you ever noticed that it also suggests for a product similar to what you’re looking for? How are they able to do this? The answer is Machine Learning.

Deep learning is a subset or an exciting branch of machine learning (ML) which uses similar ML algorithms and uses lots of data to educate deep neural networks so, as to attain better accuracy. Deep learning, with Artificial Intelligence, is uncovering hidden techniques and opportunities in the field of healthcare, helps doctors in surgical complications, drug development, patients and record mining. It furthermore gives better assistance in voice search and image recognition.
Nowadays, Voice search tool is in nearly every smartphone. Google Now, Apple’s Siri, Microsoft Cortana are some applications of voice-activated assistance which runs on deep learning.
Let’s review the differences between the two:
Machine learning uses algorithms to analyse data, then they learn from that data and make informed decisions on the basis of what it has learned.
Whereas, deep learning learns through an artificial neural network which is why it is considered as more human-like. It doesn’t require a human programmer to tell them what to do, they learn and make confident decisions on its own.

What are the Technology bred Threats to Humanity In Today’s Era

While there have been many policies against deforestation, vehicles are still using way more natural oils and lessening the greenhouse effect and depletion of the ozone-layer for so long. But, it is not having the impact that it is supposed to. Furthermore, some of the humans are responsible for climate deterioration more than the others. And that includes industry and government people. Many policies against industrial waste have been created and are rolling-on for past few decades but don’t seem to be working against global warming. Why? It is because the rate of which we are depleting and consuming nature is not even close to the speed of maintaining the balance. These policies are not even a wall is close to being enough for stopping the rising oceans. On top of that, highly influential politicians stating that global warming is a hoax doesn’t help the earth’s deteriorating health. Read More

3 Data Security Threats All Companies Face | Things to Consider in 2019

Cyber and Data Security Threats are the worst global threats today for businesses. Regardless of size, companies rely upon critical business data and sensitive information. Thus, companies need to be mindful of all potential risks to secure their networks in this new year. The  Cost of a Data Breach Study  (2018) by Ponemon with IBM Security’s sponsorship reports, a data breach’s average cost to be up by 6.4 per cent over its previous year to $3.86 million, globally. While the average cost for each stolen/lost record containing sensitive and confidential information also increased exponentially. Ransomware and Cybersecurity Vulnerabilities In 2019, ransomware will continue to be the main malware challenge for businesses and beyond. This includes Network Security threats and Software threats & vulnerabilities.  A  virus  is the first thing that comes across over minds with the term “Cyber Security”. Malware opens the door to all of your sensitive d...

Google's New Launch : Flutter 1.0 | What is “Stable Cross-Platform”?

Cross-platform (CP) application development is in the limelight lately, and more so as Google announces Flutter 1.0. Many enterprises are now considering CP for developing any new product. Google finally unveiled a stable version of their cross-platform mobile app development – Flutter 1.0, Google’s UI toolkit, on 4th December 2018 at the Live event in London. Cross-Platform SDK Cross-platform development involves the use of a single codebase for creating software applications that can be deployed on multiple platforms. This is particularly put to use when companies wish to sell the same product for more than one software environment such as Windows, Android and iOS. Various advantages of using these SDKs are: Reusable code Convenience Maintainable code Cost-effective Market Reach Flutter 1.0 CP SDKs are particularly important as developing CP apps can be a total mess of non-native code. This is why Google has set out to create a CP SDK which can integrate smo...
