Deep Learning And Profound Knowledge

In the news, Deep Learning is the currently emblematic technology of Machine-Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). In Management, the System of Profound Knowledge (SoPK) is a framework by W. Edwards Deming that specifies what individuals should know to be effective leaders of business organizations.
Your knowledge is what you have learned. You would not call a deep lake profound but a deep thought is also profound and vice versa. When discussing abstractions, there is no daylight in meaning between deep and profound.
Consequently, we might expect Deep Learning to be the process by which you acquire Profound Knowledge but it is nothing of the kind. As technical terms, they are unrelated and neither one matches expectations based on common, everyday usage.

Distributed Teams Can Work After All
The 2012 paper in Science about the CRISPR/Cas9 system has been hailed as the greatest breakthrough in biology since Crick and Watson’s discovery of the DNA double helix in 1953. It has earned its two Principal Investigators (PI), Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer Doudna, the 2020 Nobel prize in chemistry. Laypersons cannot really follow this paper but what we can better understand is how the research team worked. And it is remarkable.
