Deep learning taxonomy

The feature learning taxonomy for deep learning cases is depicted here:

Some of the frameworks that are used to implement neural network applications are listed here:

• Theano is a Python library
• Torch a Lua programming language
• Deeplearning4J is an open, source Java-based framework that works with Spark and Hadoop
• Caffe is a C++ based framework

Convolutional neural networks (CNN/ConvNets)

CNN, also known as convolution nets (ConvNets), are a variation of the regular neural networks.

Let us recap the function of the regular neural network. Regular neural networks have a single vector-based input that is transformed through a series ...
