Deep Learning
A subset of machine learning using neural networks with many layers to learn representations from large datasets.
Also: DL
Definition
Deep learning is a subfield of machine learning that uses artificial neural networks with many hidden layers (hence 'deep') to learn hierarchical representations from large amounts of data. Deep learning has driven breakthroughs in computer vision (CNNs), natural language processing (Transformers, LLMs), and reinforcement learning. It requires large datasets and significant computational power (GPUs/TPUs). Deep learning models can automatically learn relevant features from raw data without manual feature engineering.
Example
“GPT-4, Claude, and Gemini are all based on deep learning transformer architectures trained on trillions of tokens of text data.”
