As I wrote in a recent article, a fast-emerging branchof artificial intelligence called deep learning is helping Google and other companies and researchers produce significant advances in machines that at least approach the way we think.
The National Center for Education Statistics, a branchof the U.S. Department of Education, also found that the total enrollment in distance learning courses across all post-secondary degree-granting institutions roughly doubled -- from 754, 000 to 1.6 million -- from 1995 to 1997-98.
