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.

Applications 🚀

  • Image recognition (e.g., object detection)
  • Natural Language Processing (NLP)
  • Autonomous vehicles
  • Speech recognition
