Deep Learning Part 3 – Why CNN and DBN are far way from human intelligence

How do current CNN compare to the scale of the human brain? We know that the human brain consists of a 21 billion neurons and somewhere between 1 trillion and 1000 trillion dendrite connections. The closest species is an Elephant which has half as many neurons as a human brain. We can therefore postulate that […]
