AI overview

Deep learning is a branch of machine learning that uses computer systems designed to learn from data. It matters because it enables computers to improve their performance at tasks without being explicitly programmed for each specific situation.

Representing images on multiple layers of abstraction in deep learning

In machine learning, deep learning (DL) focuses on utilizing multilayered neural networks to perform tasks such as classification, regression, and representation learning. The field takes inspiration from biological neuroscience and revolves around stacking artificial neurons into layers and "training" them to process data. The adjective "deep" refers to the use of multiple layers (ranging from three to several hundred or thousands) in the network. Methods used can be supervised, semi-supervised or unsupervised.
