Deep Learning
Curated by: Wei Fan
Deep learning attempts to model high-level abstractions in data by using multiple processing layers, with complex structures or otherwise, composed of multiple non-linear transformations. It is part of a broader family of machine learning methods based on learning representations of data. An observation, for example an image, can be represented in many ways such as a vector of intensity values per pixel, or in a more abstract way as a set of edges, regions of particular shape, etc. Some representations are better than others at simplifying the learning task. One of the promises of deep learning is replacing “handcrafting features” with “crafting architectures” by using efficient algorithms for unsupervised or semi-supervised feature learning and hierarchical feature extraction.
