Sure makes sense. There are multiple layers to deep learning:

The math and proofs. The algorithms. The software tools/frameworks Building NNs with those tools.

All of those have different levels of conceptualization and utility.

As some extreme examples: Anyone can build an iPhone image classifier drag and drop today. That’s one level. Developing an alternate to backprop is another level.

Another example would be databases.. there's the theory, the tools and the applications.
