<H3 CLASS="p1"><SPAN CLASS="s1">About This Workshop</SPAN></H3>
<P CLASS="p1">The followingsimple question, about a very complicated topic, was posted by a User last yearon<A HREF="https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-AI-Machine-Learning-NLP-and-Deep-Learning" TARGET="_blank" REL="noopener noreferrer noopener nofollow noopener noreferrer nofollow nofollow noreferrer nofollow">Quora</A>:</P>
<P>"<EM><STRONG>What is the difference between AI, Machine Learning, NLP (Natural Language Processing), & Deep Learning?</STRONG></EM><EM>I have read pretty much all articles on these. But I fail to understand the fundamental differences. Please explain the differences to me like I'm a five year old.</EM><EM>Help is much appreciated. Thanks!</EM>" -- Quora member</P>
<P>The answers came pouring in from engineers, AI experts, data scientists, professors, entrepreneurs, & futurists alike. Most of the answers went into great detail & offered clear distinctions between these four branches of cognitive computing. However, though the answers may have been technically correct, a person could easily walk away from reading the Quora post just asconfused about this topic as they were before reading it(and a 5-year old wouldn't stand a chance of understanding this).Check out the post for yourself<A HREF="https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-AI-Machine-Learning-NLP-and-Deep-Learning" TARGET="_blank" REL="noopener noreferrer noopener nofollow noopener noreferrer nofollow nofollow noreferrer nofollow"><EM>here</EM></A>.</P>
<P>So, what exactly<EM>is</EM>the difference between AI, Machine Learning, NLP, & Deep Learning?Clearly, there's more to understanding these technologiesthan what can be gleaned from wikipedia, the dictionary, or Quora.</P>
