Deep learning

How it is used

Used for the field, its methods and its tools: deep learning frameworks, deep learning models, a deep learning course. It is usually contrasted with 'classical' or 'traditional' machine learning, which uses simpler models and hand-made features.

Example sentences

1. For tabular data, gradient-boosted trees often still beat deep learning.

2. Deep learning needs far more data and compute than our old pipeline did.

• neural networkA model made of many connected units arranged in layers, loosely inspired by the brain. Each connection has a weight that is adjusted during training.
• machine learningA branch of artificial intelligence in which computers learn patterns from data and use them to make predictions or decisions, instead of following rules written by hand.
• layerOne level of a neural network: a group of units that takes the output of the previous level, transforms it and passes the result on to the next one.
• GPUShort for graphics processing unit: a chip that does thousands of simple calculations in parallel, which makes it the main hardware for training and running neural networks.
