Hands-On Deep Learning Algorithms with Python

What is deep learning?

Deep learning is just a modern name for artificial neural networks with many layers. What is deep in deep learning though? It is basically due to the structure of the artificial neural network (ANN). ANN consists of some n number of layers to perform any computation. We can build an ANN with several layers where each layer is responsible for learning the intricate patterns in the data. Due to the computational advancements, we can build a network even with 100s or 1000s of layers deep. Since the ANN uses deep layers to perform learning we call it as deep learning and when ANN uses deep layers to learn we call it as a deep network. We have learned that deep learning is a subset of machine learning. How does deep learning ...
