Deep Learning Overview

Definition

  • Deep Learning: A subset of machine learning, which is itself a subset of artificial intelligence (AI).
  • Artificial Intelligence: Enables machines to mimic human behavior.
  • Machine Learning: Achieved through algorithms trained with data.
  • Deep Learning: Inspired by the human brain's structure, utilizing artificial neural networks.

Deep Learning vs. Machine Learning

  • Machine Learning: Requires defining features for differentiation (e.g., size and type of stem to differentiate tomatoes from cherries).
  • Deep Learning: Neural networks autonomously identify features without human input, requiring larger datasets for training.

Neural Networks - How They Work

  • Input Layer: Each pixel of an image (e.g., 28x28 pixel image for digits) is fed to a neuron.
  • Neurons: Core processing units within the network; each neuron processes input and passes it to the next layer.
  • Weighted Channels: Information transfer channels between neurons, each with an associated weight.
  • Bias: A unique number for each neuron added to the weighted sum of inputs.
  • Activation Function: Determines neuron activation based on the input.
  • Output Layer: Represents the digit identified by the activated neuron.

Applications of Deep Learning

  1. Customer Support: AI bots that mimic human conversation.
  2. Medical Care: Neural networks analyze MRI images and detect cancer cells.
  3. Self-Driving Cars: Companies like Apple, Tesla, and Nissan are developing autonomous vehicles.

Limitations of Deep Learning

  1. Data Requirements: Requires large volumes of data for training.
  2. Computational Power: Needs GPUs for processing; more expensive than CPUs.
  3. Training Time: Can take hours to months based on data volume and network complexity.
