AI Definitions: Deep Learning

Deep Learning – Training computers to use neural networks and solve problems. It involves a particular kind of mathematical model. The word “deep” means that the composition has many “blocks” of neural networks stacked on top of each other, and the trick is adjusting the blocks that are far from the output, since a small change there can have very indirect effects on the output. It is the dominant way to help machines sense and perceive the world around them. It powers the image-processing operations of firms like Facebook and Google, self-driving cars, and Google’s on-the-fly language translations.
