Deep Learning
Machine learning using neural networks with many layers for complex pattern recognition.
In Plain English
Deep Learning is a type of machine learning that uses neural networks with many layers (hence "deep"). These extra layers allow the system to learn increasingly abstract and complex patterns. Deep learning has driven most recent AI breakthroughs, including language models like ChatGPT and image generators like Midjourney.
💡Real-World Example
Self-driving cars use deep learning to understand road scenes, recognizing pedestrians, traffic signs, and other vehicles simultaneously.
