A couple of years ago I graduated the artificial intelligence (AI) class by edX | BerkeleyX with Pieter Abbeel and Dan Klein. It&#8217;s really amazing what can be done with DL now compared to the exact understanding of search by A* or \u00a0alpha-beta pruning to mention a few techniques from AI. It&#8217;s unbelievable what can be done now, without programming the computer specifically to the domain with fixed code, instead rely on learning the features by himself.<\/p>\n<p>But as always, this is just the start of a journey: There is more into those subjects now, be it Self-Driving Cars, Robotics, or another brush up in Artificial Intelligence or Machine Learning. I&#8217;ll keep you informed about my endeavours.
