Deep Learning is a specialized method within machine learning and a subfield of artificial intelligence (AI). It is based on artificial neural networks, inspired by the structure and functioning of the human brain. Essentially, it involves algorithms that learn from large amounts of data by passing through layers of computations or transformations to recognize complex patterns.
Key aspects of Deep Learning include:
Neural Networks: The core structure of deep learning models is neural networks, which consist of layers of nodes (neurons). These nodes are interconnected, and each layer processes data in a specific way.
Deep Layers: Unlike traditional machine learning methods, deep learning networks contain many hidden layers between the input and output layers. This deep structure allows the model to learn complex features and abstractions.
Automatic Feature Learning: Deep learning models can automatically extract features from data, without requiring humans to manually define them. This makes it particularly useful for tasks like image, speech, or text processing.
Applications: Deep learning is used in fields such as speech recognition (e.g., Siri or Alexa), image processing (e.g., facial recognition), autonomous driving, and even medical diagnosis.
Requires Large Data and Computing Power: Deep learning models need large datasets and high computational resources to learn effectively and produce accurate results.
It is especially effective for tasks where traditional algorithms struggle and has driven many advances in AI.
