What is Deep Learning?
Deep learning is a type of machine learning that uses artificial neural networks with multiple layers (hence "deep") to analyze data and make predictions. These networks are inspired by the structure and function of the human brain.
Key Concepts
- Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs): The building blocks of deep learning.
- Layers: Deep learning models have multiple layers, allowing them to learn complex patterns.
- Backpropagation: The algorithm used to train deep learning models.
- Activation Functions: Non-linear functions that introduce complexity into the model.
Applications
Deep learning is being used in a wide range of applications, including:
- Image recognition
- Natural language processing
- Speech recognition
- Recommendation systems
