In Chapter 1, we gave an overview of AI and the basic idea behind deep learning. We discussed how deep learning—applying artificial neural network models with a large number of layers—has yielded state-of-the art results for several research areas, such as image classification, object detection, speech recognition, and natural language processing.

Deep learning has also shown promise in many applications across areas such as health ...
