Explaining Deep Learning to a Five Year Old

Richard Feynman had a method of learning complex subjects. The method is simple, try to explain the complex subject to a five year old. If you can’t do it, go back, refine you language and try again.

Deep Learning is one of those complex subjects that continues to perplex. Here I am going to attempt an explanation that hopefully could be understood by a five year old.

Just read the following:

I hope this explanation was simple and intuitive enough for you to understand.
