Deep Learning in Industry: A New Age for Business Solutions | Team Of Keys

Imagine a world in which machines study huge amounts of data and use that knowledge to promote advances in different industries. This blog introduces you to Deep Learning AI in the business world. Traditional solutions are being improved by it, which helps make processes smarter, faster, and more efficient. Today, industry is concerned with more than automation; it is reinventing the way companies run at their core.  

Why Choose Us

We understand that we at Team of Keys Company can greatly transform businesses. So, we have developed an AI-based, deep learning industry experience that lets company leverage this rising technology for their success! If you want to boost your operations, raise the gaming quality with AI, or enhance what customers experience, we can help you take advantage of this latest technology.

What You Need to Know about Deep Learning

Deep learning belongs to the category of AI and copies how the human brain processes information. Neural networks are algorithms used to spot patterns, learn new things, and make smart decisions. Its ability to manage huge amounts of data and find complex patterns automatically is what makes it very strong.

In other words, with traditional programming, developers have to give detailed instructions for each job, but it can automatically perform tasks by looking at information, as the human brain does when it learns by experience. Because of this, it can support voice assistants, play a role in facial recognition, enable self-driving vehicles, and improve healthcare diagnostics. Cool, right? That’s not all!

Due to their ability to adapt with new data, special deep learning models are very helpful in addressing complex problems across industries. More data improves their ability to make predictions, notice trends and do tasks automatically. Because it keeps evolving, in businesses, it is bringing positive changes to many sectors by using algorithms, making processes more efficient and offering useful information from data.

Week 13

This week I finished my parts of the documentation for assignment 2. I did the summary, 4 playtests, Part C, and 2/3 of the discussion of findings. Everyone else in my group also finished their parts, and we were able to submit. However we have an issue with our file being 15mb over, but we have decided to just submit it, because there isnt really much we can do about that at this point.

I do enjoy it when a game is clearly trying to use a wildly inappropriate pre-built game engine for what it wants to do, but I don't see why RPG Maker should have all the fun. Do grid-based tactical combat in Inform. Write a rhythm game in Twine. Implement that precision puzzle platformer in Ren'Py. You know you want to.

Concept art I did for the indie rhythm adventure game Overpass By Michael Bean, back in 2017 or 2018

[ayeforscotland]

Microsoft just laid off 9,000 people from Xbox - cutting 4% of its workforce and cancelling some projects entirely.

Teams hit hard are the Raven and Sledgehammer who support Call of Duty development, Rare who have had to cancel their Everwild project, and The Initiative - a studio that hadn’t released a game yet - and were working on Perfect Dark.

One thing that’s frustrating when seeing layoffs like this is that’s there’s always a line in there about the development of a project being difficult.

In my experience in both Games and Tech, one of the biggest barriers to development is lack of clarity on what departments are working on and no cohesive planning beyond ‘X’ milestone every few months.

One role that is commonly dismissed in the industry is the role of ‘Producer’ - often being referred to a glorified JIRA ticket-watcher, to the point where some producers joke about it. That’s the role that needs to evolve if game development is going to mature as an industry.

Other barriers is larger studios not having the resource or not putting in the effort to onboard and cultivate new people into the industry. They bring new ideas!

I am a solo indie dev trying to overcome my anxiety and actually let people know my game exists. It is a cute physics based game where you are the level.

I love making this game with passion and I am so excited to share it with the world, but somehow I need to let the world know. Unfortunately the way steam works is the more wishlists the more visibility, so if you are interested it is super appreciated :)

It's wild to me that full-featured character customisation has been paraded about for decades in AAA spaces as the true litmus test of whether a game takes open-world play seriously and a lot of them still treat playing as a woman the same way Baldur's Gate treats playing as a gnome.

Character asks!

These are more focused on the background stuff rather than the usual "what would the character do in XY situation" kinds of asks. I've been looking for something like this for quite a while and in the end decided to make my own. Feel free to use, go wild, enjoy

What was the original thought that led to the creation of this character?

How long was the process before the character reached its final version? (or a version that would be clearly recognizable as the character?)

What was the first thing you decided on, the character's name, appearance, personality or their role in the story?

And reverse, which one of the four things did you struggle with the most?

How did you choose their name and why? Was it simply based on vibes or is there any specific meaning behind the name? Are the reasons behind their name different in- and out of universe?

What was the thought process behind their appearance? Did you go mostly for the aesthetic or are there other reasons they look the way they do?

What is an aspect of their appearance that you like the most?

What is the origin of their personality? And let's be honest - how much of it is projecting?

How big is their role in the story? Do they make a frequent appearance or are they a character with little "screentime" but big influence? Or are they just a favourite background guy?

What is their main character arc in the story? Where do they start and how do they develop? Do they get a happy ending or is their story a tragic one?

Is there any existing character from other media that your character resembles? Was the resemblance intentional or was it a coincidence?

Do you have a playlist for the character? What songs do you associate with them and why?

Do you have a voice claim for the character? What do you imagine the character sounds like?

Do you have any quotes tied to the character, either from the story itself or from another source that fit them?

Have you ever made a moodboard for them?

Is there any memes or running jokes associated with the character, both in- and out of universe?

Are there any motifs or symbols associated with the character? How are they represented, in their design, personality or in some other way?

Does the character have other characters connected to them? Do you have a family tree and "offscreen" connections made up for them or do they exist in a vacuum purely for the purpose of the story?

What is your general favourite thing about the character? What is your least favourite?

Bonus question: share any additional thoughts, art, favourite scenes, anything you've been waiting for a chance to ramble about
