This week, we have started answering some key questions that seem to be popular among our readers– what is deep learning, for example, and which videos should I watch to learn something substantial about the topic? We hope that they provide a great basis for you to delve further into the field. Also, if there’s anything that is missing — your favourite Youtube clip, or areas of interest that you’d like to learn about — feel free to drop us a line!

Aside from this, we have a fantastic array of industry news. We saw that a recent study suggests that data scientists in the UK are “exhibiting high levels of work-related stress”, with 27 percent of male data scientists saying they were “mildly stressed” and 25 percent said they were “heavily stressed.” We also saw more funding stories, including Zoomdata picking up $17M in Series B Funding and SolidFire receiving $82M in Series D to bolster long term growth and increased profitability.

In sum, an eventful week! Take a look at our selection of top stories and news below.

What is Deep Learning?

The field of data science has been overcome by buzzwords over the past few years. Such words often start as potentially powerful and revolutionary ideas, but through overuse and miscomprehension lose their potency. One of the terms within the field of data science that is adhering to this trajectory is deep learning. We’ve heard it used as a synonym for machine learning. We’ve heard it described as “the future”. We’ve also heard it described as a meaningless “buzzword for neural nets”. Aside from the fact some of these descriptions are wildly inaccurate, none of them bring the listener any closer to understanding what deep learning actually entails.
