Why is "deep learning" so hype nowadays? They seem like just another AI tool that will be prone to over-fitting datasets and provide an analysis that is difficult to mathematically characterize and understand in a reliable way.

Not here to be cynical/negative -- they might be of great value, this is not my expertise. Can someone explain why deep learning articles are receiving attention rather than, say, Support Vector Machines / kernel-based methods of pattern analysis? Or other nonlinear analysis? Are they related?
