Question 16​

Why do neural networks mimic the human brain?

A) Because they look like it
B) Because they use connected cells to process information like the brain
C) Because they think

They mimic the brain because they use interconnected cells, each receiving and sending information - like real neurons.


Question 17​

What is the advantage of deep learning discovering features by itself?

A) No advantage
B) We don't need to define features beforehand, it discovers them
C) Makes it slower
D) Makes it weaker

Show Answer

Correct Answer: B

A big advantage: we don't need to tell the computer what the important features are, it discovers them by itself from the data.
