10DEEP LEARNING BASICS

Deep learning is a type of machine learning that has advanced rapidly in the past few years, due to improvements in processing power and deep learning techniques. Usually, deep learning refers to deep, or many-layered, neural networks, which excel at performing very complex, often historically human-centric tasks, like image recognition and language translation.

For example, detecting whether a file contains an exact copy of some malicious code you’ve seen before is simple for a computer program and doesn’t require advanced machine learning. But detecting whether a file contains malicious code that is somewhat similar to ...
