What is Deep Learning?

Deep learning is a subset of machine learning that aims to replicate human brain processes through multi-layered neural networks, known for their ability to handle complex tasks such as object categorization and decision-making without direct human intervention. Recent advancements in computing power and the availability of large datasets have enabled the development of effective deep learning models, which are particularly adept at processing raw data like audio, images, and text. These models are employed in various applications, including virtual assistants, image recognition, and recommendation systems, and they excel at automatically extracting features from unlabelled data. However, developing deep learning models poses significant challenges due to the extensive amount of data and computing resources required, often limiting their creation to large organizations. Despite these challenges, companies like Seldon offer solutions for deploying and managing machine learning models, providing tools for efficiency and scalability in real-time AI applications.
