Deep learning is a subset of machine learning that uses artificial neural networks (ANNs) to model complex patterns in data. It has revolutionized fields like computer vision, natural language processing, and robotics. Let's break down the core concepts!
Key Concepts 📚
- Neurons & Layers:
- Artificial neurons mimic biological ones, processing inputs through activation functions.
- Neural networks consist of input, hidden, and output layers.
- Activation Functions:
- Common types: ReLU, Sigmoid, Tanh.
- These introduce non-linearity, enabling the network to learn complex relationships.
- Loss Functions:
- Measure the difference between predicted and actual outputs.
- Examples: Mean Squared Error (MSE), Cross-Entropy.
Training Process 🔄
- Forward Propagation: Input data passes through layers to generate predictions.
- Backpropagation: Calculate gradients of the loss function and adjust weights.
- Optimization: Use algorithms like Gradient Descent to minimize loss.
Applications of Deep Learning 🌍
- Image Recognition: Detect objects in images (e.g.,
image_recognition). - Natural Language Processing (NLP): Understand and generate human language (e.g.,
natural_language_processing). - Reinforcement Learning: Train agents to make decisions in dynamic environments.
