The Core Idea

Deep learning relies on representing data across layered feature spaces.

These layers allow the system to learn increasingly complex patterns from raw input.

Neural Networks – The Building Blocks

At its heart, deep learning utilizes artificial neural networks, inspired by the structure of the human brain.

These networks consist of interconnected nodes (neurons) organized in layers, each performing a specific computation.

Backpropagation – Learning from Mistakes

The process of training a deep learning model involves adjusting the connections between neurons based on errors.

This is achieved through backpropagation, an algorithm that efficiently calculates gradients and updates weights.
