Over the past five years
researchers in artificial intelligence have become
the
rock
stars
of
the technology world. A branch of ai known as
deep learning
, which uses
neural
networks
to
churn
through
large
volumes
of
data
looking
for
patterns,
has
proven
so
useful
that
skilled
practitioners
can
command

to
build
software
for
Amazon,
Apple,
Facebook
and
Google.

The standard route into these jobs has
been a PhD in computer science from one
of America
’

elite universities
. Earning
one takes years and requires a disposition
suited to
academia
, which is rare
among more normal folk.
Graduate students are regularly lured
away from their studies by

Last

,
an
education
non-
profit
based
in
San
Francisco,
kicked
off
the
third
year
of
its
course
in
deep
learning.
Since
its
inception
it
has
attracted
more
than
100,000
students,
scattered
around
the
globe
from
India
to
Nigeria.
The
course
and
others
like
it
come
with
a
simple
proposition
: there is no
need to spend years obtaining a PhD in order to
practise
deep learning. Creating
software that learns can be taught as a craft, not
as a high
intellectual pursuit to be
undertaken only in
an ivory
tower
.

be completed in just seven
weeks.

上月，
位于旧金山的非营利性教育
机构
进入了它开办深度学
习课程的第三
年。
自推出以来，
这门课吸引了从印度到尼日利亚的全球各地十
多万名学生。
这类课程都有一个简单的主张：要从事深度学习方面的工作，没必要花几年
时间拿博士学
位。打造会学习的软件可以当一门手艺来教，而不是一种只能在象牙塔里传
授的高级智力
探索。
的课程短短七周就
可学完。

who founded with

切尔·托马斯（

学习这门技术。霍华德说有中学数学知识就足够了。“没有，希腊，
