It is a vast sphere of knowledge that is divided into specializations, similar to how tectonic plates divvy up our world. Most important of all, the specializations of deep learning — natural language processing and cognitive computational science, for instance — can coincide to form beautiful mountain ranges that help to define landmark areas of deep learning.
Curriculum learning is one such Himalayan-range of a deep learning technique between the two fields of AI-oriented cognitive science and…
