Understanding the Power of Deep Learning: An Introductory Look at How this Technology Works

摘要

An overview of deep learning, what makes it so valuable, and why companies are investing in this area. One reason why deep learning is a confusing concept to many is that it is often used alongside the terms machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (Al). Deep learning (DL) is a subset of ML, which is itself a subset of Al. A DL algorithm is able to learn hidden patterns from the data by itself, combine them together, and build much more efficient decision rules. Deep learning works best as the amount of data scales, making it popular in industries that collect massive amounts of data. These industries include manufacturing, automotive, hospitality, healthcare, banking, agriculture, entertainment, IT/Security, retail, and supply chain and logistics.
