Fundamentals

Deep Learning

A subfield of machine learning using deep neural networks to learn complex representations.

Detailed explanation

Deep learning stacks many layers of artificial neurons to model unstructured data: images, audio, text. It drives recent breakthroughs in vision, NLP and powers LLMs through the Transformer architecture.

Examples

Face recognition
Machine translation
Self-driving cars
GPT models

Frequently asked questions

Why did it explode recently?
