Deep learning intuition

If you're a newbie to deep learning, you may be wondering how exactly it is differs from machine learning; or is it the same? Deep learning is a subset of the larger domain of machine learning. Let's think about this in the context of an automobile image classification problem:

As you can see in the preceding diagram, we need to perform feature extraction ourselves as legacy machine learning algorithms cannot do that on their own. They might be super-efficient with accurate results, but they cannot learn signals from data. In fact, they don't learn on their own and still rely on human effort:

On the other hand, deep ...
