data mining is the future of the information economy

for humans, says Dr Steve Evans, chief scientist for


the London-based research institute.

Evans said such research in deep learning techniques


would offer a new approach to solving complex
problems.

"If everything you know about deep learning turns


out to be wrong, people in the future will be trying
to learn something to solve other things," he told
Reuters.

"What does this mean for our economy?" he would go


on. "These are very different domains - human,
machine and data mining."

A high rate of failure

Dr Evans said the main problem of learning to do


some big tasks quickly was with the human mind.

"People have very large brains", he said. "They have


to learn something from the experiences of their
surroundings. And while there might be a high rate
of failure with those results, there's a high rate
of failure with those of their own experience.

"You are a small fraction of all people who are


working on computer vision. You have this whole set
of assumptions that make sense. You have that
assumption and you do the math. It's very difficult
to learn how to come up with this type of data,
because as of about 2000 there were very few people
with the mathematical ability."

The researchers used algorithms inspired by big data


in their research to predict the outcome of what
scientists in the UK and abroad called the 'deep
learning revolution'.
