Deep learning is a subfield of machine learning that uses neural networks to learn from data. Neural networks are composed of layers of nodes or "neurons" that process and transform data as it flows through the network. Each layer builds on the output of the previous layer, allowing the network to learn increasingly abstract representations of the data.

Key Concepts

  • Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs): A type of neural network that uses a set of algorithms to learn from data.
  • Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs): A type of neural network that uses convolutional and pooling layers to learn from image data.
  • Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs): A type of neural network that uses recurrent connections to learn from sequential data.
  • Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs): A type of neural network that uses a generator and discriminatorative network to generate new data.
