Assignment 1 pt.2 Deep Learning
Deep learning is a subset of neural networks machine Classic (or supervised) learning is machine learning on
learning. Neural networks are composed of layers of labeled data sets. Meaning the data it processes has been
interlinked nodes, where each node provides an output manually categorized by humans to guide the neural network
from the data from the previous layer. in the right direction.
Classic learning uses only an input and output layer. Deep (or unsupervised) learning is machine learning on
unlabeled data sets. The neural network creates all the
Deep learning has “hidden” layers in between the input and hierarchies and categorization on its own.
output layers.
This allows deep learning algorithms to discover hidden
patterns and categorize and analyze data in ways humans can
not. This makes deep learning perfect for ad targeting, image
& speech recognition, stock trading algorithms, and anything
too difficult for humans to manually create algorithms for.
