SUrface vs deep learning

Deep -= understanding the why that happens; looking at the data to see other explanations Surface = the single event, following the pattern,

Analogy: surface= the eruption of a volcano whereras deep = WHY it erupted the way it did and HOW can we predict a subsequent eruption

Real life example: medical lab tests = electrolyte levels surface: results suggest diabetes because lots of lab tests have diabetes

deep: true, there may be diabetes but the results also suggest that the electrolyte imbalance mean a heart attack is imminent.
