Gartner's top predictions for 2014 combine several disruptive topics that are set to have an impact well beyond just the IT function.
By 2017, 10 percent of computers will be learning rather than processing. Near-term flag: In 2014, the number of speech recognition applications running on deep neural network algorithms will double.
Deep learning methods, based on deep neural networks, are currently being applied in speech recognition systems as well as some object recognition applications. Quality of life improves when society is able to derive useful information from the copious amounts of unstructured data collecting in the Internet. The most important implication of a learning computer is that it expands much less energy to recognize more complex patterns.
