Deep learning startup Skymind raises $3 million, launches Intelligence Layer distribution

Skymind, a startup that promotes the use of the Deeplearning4j open-source software for deep learning — a type of artificial intelligence (A.I.) — is announcing today that it has raised a $3 million seed round.
There are many open-source frameworks for deep learning, which generally involves training artificial neural nets on lots of data, such as labeled photos, and then getting them to make inferences about new data. Deeplearning4j is primarily written in Java and is meant to be in
