Deep Learning Fundamentals

Deep Learning

• A subset of Machine Learning (ML) that involves the use of artificial neural networks to analyze and interpret data
• Inspired by the structure and function of the human brain
• Key characteristics:
  • Multiple layers of artificial neurons
  • Ability to learn complex patterns and relationships in data
  • Can be used for both supervised and unsupervised learning tasks
• Applications:
  • Image recognition and classification
  • Speech recognition
  • Natural Language Processing (NLP)

Neural Networks

• A type of machine learning model inspired by the structure and function of the human brain
• Composed of interconnected nodes (neurons) that process and transmit information
• Key components:
  • Input layer: receives input data
  • Hidden layers: performs complex representations of the input data
  • Output layer: produces the final output
• Types of neural networks:
  • Feedforward networks
  • Recurrent neural networks (RNNs)
  • Convolutional neural networks (CNNs)

Reinforcement Learning

• A type of machine learning that involves training an agent to make decisions based on rewards or penalties
• Goal: maximize the cumulative reward over time
• Key components:
  • Agent: makes decisions and takes actions
  • Environment: responds to the agent's actions and provides rewards or penalties
  • Policy: the agent's strategy for making decisions
• Applications:
  • Robotics
  • Game playing
  • Autonomous vehicles

Natural Language Processing (NLP)

• A subfield of AI that focuses on the interaction between computers and human language
• Goals:
  • Enable computers to understand and process human language
  • Generate human-like language
• Key techniques:
  • Tokenization: breaking down text into individual words or tokens
  • Part-of-speech tagging: identifying the grammatical category of each word
  • Named entity recognition: identifying named entities such as people, places, and organizations
• Applications:
  • Sentiment analysis
  • Language translation
  • Chatbots and virtual assistants

AI and DL

• AI (Artificial Intelligence): the broader field of research and development aimed at creating machines that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence
• DL (Deep Learning): a subset of ML that is particularly well-suited for AI applications
• Relationship between AI and DL:
  • DL is a key enabling technology for many AI applications
  • AI provides a framework for integrating DL models with other components and systems
• Examples of AI applications that use DL:
  • Computer vision
  • Speech recognition
  • Natural Language Processing (NLP)
