1.1 Deep Learning

Deep learning is a subset of machine learning which is itself a subset of artificial intelligence and statistics. Artificial intelligence research began shortly after World War II [24]. Early work was based on the knowledge of the structure of the brain, propositional logic, and Turing’s theory of computation. Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts created a mathematical formulation for neural networks based on threshold logic. This allowed neural network research to split into two approaches: ...
