Deep Learning Basics

Deep learning is a subset of machine learning that structures algorithms in layers to create an "artificial neural network" that can learn and make intelligent decisions on its own.

Key Concepts

• Neural Networks: These are inspired by the human brain and consist of interconnected nodes (neurons) that work together to process information.
• Layers: Deep learning models typically consist of multiple layers of neurons, each responsible for learning different features of the data.
• Activation Functions: These functions determine whether a neuron should be activated or not based on the input it receives.
• Backpropagation: This is a method used to adjust the weights of the neurons in a neural network based on the error of the output.
