Deep learning - the next frontier for everything from InfoSec to Smartphone medicine

IT security offerings are increasingly offering approaches to the cyber-security conundrum with systems based on machine-learning and what the Brits like to call 'maths'. But a super-set of machine-learning is deep-learning. And researchers at the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory are applying it to detecting skin cancer lesions in patients. "The essence of machine learning, including deep learning, is that a computer is trained to figure out a problem rather than having the answers programmed into it." https://news.stanford.edu/2017/01/25/artificial-intelligence-used-identify-skin-cancer/
