ABOUT DEEP LEARNING

Deep learning is a machine learning technique that teaches computers to do what comes
naturally to humans: learn by example. Deep learning is a key technology behind driverless
cars, enabling them to recognize a stop sign, or to distinguish a pedestrian from a lamppost. It
is the key to voice control in consumer devices like phones, tablets, TVs, and hands-free
speakers. Deep learning is getting lots of attention lately and for good reason. It’s achieving
results that were not possible before.

In deep learning, a computer model learns to perform classification tasks directly from
images, text, or sound. Deep learning models can achieve state-of-the-art accuracy,
sometimes exceeding human-level performance. Models are trained by using a large set of
labeled data and neural network architectures that contain many layers.

How does deep learning attain such impressive results?


In a word, accuracy. Deep learning achieves recognition accuracy at higher levels than ever
before. This helps consumer electronics meet user expectations, and it is crucial for safety-
critical applications like driverless cars. Recent advances in deep learning have improved to
the point where deep learning outperforms humans in some tasks like classifying objects in
images.

While deep learning was first theorized in the 1980s, there are two main reasons it has only
recently become useful:

1. Deep learning requires large amounts of labeled data. For example, driverless car
development requires millions of images and thousands of hours of video.

2. Deep learning requires substantial computing power. High-performance GPUs have a


parallel architecture that is efficient for deep learning. When combined with clusters or
cloud computing, this enables development teams to reduce training time for a deep learning
network from weeks to hours or less.

Examples of Deep Learning at Work


Deep learning applications are used in industries from automated driving to medical devices.
Automated Driving: Automotive researchers are using deep learning to automatically detect
objects such as stop signs and traffic lights. In addition, deep learning is used to detect
pedestrians, which helps decrease accidents.

Aerospace and Defense: Deep learning is used to identify objects from satellites that locate
areas of interest, and identify safe or unsafe zones for troops.

Medical Research: Cancer researchers are using deep learning to automatically detect cancer
cells. Teams at UCLA built an advanced microscope that yields a high-dimensional data set
used to train a deep learning application to accurately identify cancer cells.

Industrial Automation: Deep learning is helping to improve worker safety around heavy


machinery by automatically detecting when people or objects are within an unsafe distance of
machines.

Electronics: Deep learning is being used in automated hearing and speech translation. For
example, home assistance devices that respond to your voice and know your preferences are
powered by deep learning applications.

Most deep learning methods use neural network architectures, which is why deep learning
models are often referred to as deep neural networks.

The term “deep” usually refers to the number of hidden layers in the neural
network. Traditional neural networks only contain 2-3 hidden layers, while deep networks
can have as many as 150.

Deep learning models are trained by using large sets of labeled data and neural network
architectures that learn features directly from the data without the need for manual feature
extraction.

One of the most popular types of deep neural networks is known as convolutional neural
networks (CNN or ConvNet). A CNN convolves learned features with input data, and uses
2D convolutional layers, making this architecture well suited to processing 2D data, such as
images.
CNNs eliminate the need for manual feature extraction, so you do not need to identify
features used to classify images. The CNN works by extracting features directly from images.
The relevant features are not pretrained; they are learned while the network trains on a
collection of images. This automated feature extraction makes deep learning models highly
accurate for computer vision tasks such as object classification.

CNNs learn to detect different features of an image using tens or hundreds of hidden layers.
Every hidden layer increases the complexity of the learned image features. For example, the
first hidden layer could learn how to detect edges, and the last learns how to detect more
complex shapes specifically catered to the shape of the object we are trying to recognize.

What's the Difference Between Machine Learning and Deep


Learning?
Deep learning is a specialized form of machine learning. A machine learning workflow starts
with relevant features being manually extracted from images. The features are then used to
create a model that categorizes the objects in the image. With a deep learning workflow,
relevant features are automatically extracted from images. In addition, deep learning
performs “end-to-end learning” – where a network is given raw data and a task to perform,
such as classification, and it learns how to do this automatically.

Another key difference is deep learning algorithms scale with data, whereas shallow learning
converges. Shallow learning refers to machine learning methods that plateau at a certain level
of performance when you add more examples and training data to the network.

A key advantage of deep learning networks is that they often continue to improve as the size
of your data increases.
