1.2.2 Increasing Dataset Sizes
- As of 2016, a rough rule of thumb is that a supervised deep learning algorithm will generally achieve acceptable performance with around 5,000 labeled examples per category, and will match or exceed human performance when trained with a dataset containing at least 10 million labeled examples.
1.2.3 Increasing Model Sizes
- Even today’s networks, which we consider quite large from a computational systems point of view, are smaller than the nervous system of even relatively primitive vertebrate animals like frogs.
1.2.4 Increasing Accuracy, Complexity and Real-World Impact
- In recent years, it has seen tremendous growth in its popularity and usefulness, due in large part to more powerful com- puters, larger datasets and techniques to train deeper networks.
