深度学习
descry (dih SCRY) This verb comes to us from the French word for “to call out.” It means “to catch sight of something that is difficult to see” or “to discover something by very careful scrutiny” (see #1). It should not be confused with “decry,” which comes from the same French root but means “to openly condemn.”
