Welcome to the first AI roundup of 2018! Before we get started, let's round up the roundups from 2017...

As you can see, about halfway through, my roundups took a shift toward focusing on one topic in particular — y'all seem to like that more! So to continue that tradition, today, we're going to be talking about deep learning: the ability for machines to autonomously mimic human thought patterns through artificial neural networks composed of cascading layers of information.

Is there something else you'd like to see in next month's AI roundup? Let me know in the comments!
