Deep Learning

The field of deep learning has come a long way since it first emerged in the 1980s. From the early days of limited computing power and data availability to today's state‐of‐the‐art models, deep learning has revolutionized the way we approach problem solving across many industries.

A major breakthrough came in 2010 with the launch of the ImageNet competition, which made a large dataset of labeled images available to the public. This provided a platform to develop state‐of‐the‐art image ...
