Deep learning is a subset of machine learning that involves artificial neural networks with many layers. These networks can learn complex patterns from large amounts of data, making them powerful tools for tasks like image recognition, natural language processing, and more.

Key Concepts

  • Neural Networks: The basic building blocks of deep learning, inspired by the human brain.
