Deep Learning Fundamentals

Deep learning uses artificial neural networks, which are loosely modeled on how the brain processes information.

Key points

  • A neural network is made of nodes organized into layers: an input layer, one or more hidden layers, and an output layer.
  • The network learns by adjusting the connections (weights) between nodes as it sees examples, until it can recognize patterns in data it has never seen.
  • Computer vision uses deep learning to interpret images and video: image classification, object detection, and image segmentation.
  • Natural language processing (NLP) uses deep learning for human language: text classification, sentiment analysis, machine translation, and language generation.
