Breaking news about deep learning

Deep learning, which triggered the AI boom, can't stop its momentum. New results are reported each day. As mentioned in Chapter 6, Approaches to Practical Applications – Recurrent Neural Networks and More, many researchers compete on image recognition and natural language processing. Of course, deep learning is not limited to these two fields, but applies to many other fields. The outcome of these applications is very exciting.

In this AI boom, in March 2016, the Go world was shaken by one event. Go is a board game in which two players are trying to take over more territory than their opponent. The news of 'AI beating a human in Go' shocked not only Go players but also the whole world, when a machine, that is, AI, beat a human at Go. DeepMind (https://deepmind.com/), which was bought by Google, has been developing the Go-playing AI, called AlphaGo, and AlphaGo has beaten world-class player Lee Sedol for a fourth time, to win the five-game series four games...
