"Deep learning is an emerging capability that is revolutionizing the way we interact with data," said Dr. Andrés Muñoz-Jaramillo, senior research scientist at SwRI. Muñoz-Jaramillo co-authored the study, published this month in Science Advances, alongside collaborators from nine other institutions as part of NASA's Frontier Development Laboratory. The laboratory is an applied artificial intelligence research accelerator that applies deep learning and machine learning techniques to challenges in space science and exploration.

Deep learning is a type of machine learning methods that mimic the way the human brain processes information. The result of deep learning is machines accomplishing things that previously required human intelligence, such as translation between foreign languages, driving a vehicle and facial recognition. Things like Netflix® suggesting what to watch next, an iPhone® unlocking upon sight of its owner's face and Alexa® responding to a vocal request are all results of deep learning.
