How do you find errors in a system that exists in a black box whose contents are a mystery even to experts?
That is one of the challenges of perfecting self-driving cars and other deep learning systems that are based on artificial neural networks—known as deep neural networks—modeled after the human brain. Inside these systems, a web of neurons enables a machine to process data with a nonlinear approach and, essentially, to teach itself to analyze information through what is known as training data.
