Deep Learning

Deep learning refers to a class of machine learning methods that use layered representation models, commonly artificial neural networks, to learn hierarchical representations from data.

Overview

A feedforward network composes layers of weighted sums and nonlinear transformations. Backpropagation applies the chain rule to compute objective gradients; gradient descent is a separate parameter-update procedure. The training objective and evaluation task must be specified.

Why it matters

Deep learning has expanded practical capabilities in computer vision, speech processing, natural language modeling, and computational biology. Its adoption has stimulated specialized computing hardware and altered software engineering practices across industry and research. The widespread deployment of deep models has also motivated inquiry into interpretability, resource consumption, and algorithmic safety.
