Deep learning is a subset of machine learning that enables machines to learn from data in a way that mimics the human brain. It uses artificial neural networks (ANNs) with multiple layers to model complex patterns. Below is a beginner-friendly breakdown:
Key Concepts 📚
- Neurons & Layers: Basic building blocks of neural networks.
- Activation Functions: Introduce non-linearity (e.g., ReLU, Sigmoid).
- Training Process: Forward propagation, loss calculation, and backpropagation.
Applications 🚀
- Image recognition (e.g., object detection)
- Natural Language Processing (NLP)
- Autonomous vehicles
- Speech recognition
Learning Resources 📘
Practice Projects 💻
- Build a simple MNIST classifier
