Deep learning is a field of machine learning that is a true enabler of cutting-edge achievements in the domain of artificial intelligence. The term deep implies a complex structure that is designed to handle massive datasets using intensive parallel computations (mostly by leveraging clusters of GPU-equipped machines). The term learning in this context means that feature engineering and customization of model parameters are left to the machine. In practice, the combination of these terms in the form of deep learning implies multilayered neural networks. Neural networks are heavily used for ...
