Advancements and Applications of Deep Learning

1. Introduction to Deep Learning


Machine learning is a field of artificial intelligence that uses statistical techniques to give
computer systems the ability to learn from data or experiences without being explicitly
programmed. Deep learning is a specialized form of machine learning that is all the rage in
AI today, thanks mainly to its exceptional performance in applications as diverse as
computer vision, voice-based conversational agents, and language processing. As the two
most sought-after skills in key technological areas today, deep learning and AI have
emerged as areas of strategic importance for many technology companies and research
centers over the past few years. This fact has implications—so deeply, in fact—as in the case
of deep learning, which has created a new innovation ecosystem that has been baptized as
'deep learning ecosystems.' Today, there are companies that develop hardware specific to
the demands of deep learning.

Deep learning algorithms are complex and depend, to a large extent, on iterations in
understanding their data files. These algorithms are capable of discovering compound
models and patterns that are composed of different levels. This allows the system to obtain
peculiar sensitivities that are indistinguishable from what humans perceive. In this way,
when new data is entered, it presents peculiarities and compares them with the different
levels and characteristics of the models discovered. In summary, what these algorithms do
is design a good representation of the data that has been performed for a given task.
Common sense and concepts of knowledge that are widely used are sufficient to solve a
large number of tasks in the areas of vision, language, and speech.

1.1. Definition and Key Concepts


Deep learning, in its relatively short history, has overtaken many classical techniques that
were developed over decades, enthralling the multifaceted artificial intelligence (AI)
community and prompting the application of state-of-the-art methods across diverse fields,
including finance, medical science, computer vision, natural language processing (NLP),
Internet of Things (IoT), recommender systems, control problems, and robotics. At the very
core of deep learning is the profound impact of the theory and application of a class of
artificial neural networks known as convolutional neural networks (CNNs).

Deep learning has expanded its learning capabilities to multiple levels, as it now refers to
training deep neural networks, particularly neural networks with a large number of layers.
Applications currently use deep networks with tens, hundreds, or even thousands of layers.
Each layer of the network comprises several nodes, each of which continuously transforms
its input signal using programmed mathematical functions. These functions that bind
together each and every node in the network form a shallow function, but for the entire
network, these form a deep function. It is the ability to break down the learning into
multiple stages that has prompted the use of very deep networks.

1.2. Historical Development


In 1943, McCulloch and Pitts proposed the first mathematical model of artificial neurons,
which opened a new field for the engineering community. In the 1950s, the basic learning
algorithms of single-layer neural networks, namely the perceptron learning rule, were
proposed, which could construct a binary classifier to classify the problems. However, these
theories were later heavily criticized due to their limitations. These criticisms discouraged
researchers and engineers from pursuing investigations of neural networks. As a result, the
number of researchers working on neural networks decreased sharply from the 1970s until
the early 1980s.

Inspired by the activatable behavior of biological systems, Sejnowski and Rosenberg


determined to solve the problem of a single-layer network by introducing a sigmoid
function as a threshold in 1983. The learning algorithm of the network was presented
during the following two years, which was derived from the delta rule. After introducing the
multi-layer neural network model in 1969, Rumelhart and other researchers extended the
backpropagation algorithm to train the multi-layer network in 1986. If the error function
was chosen correctly, they showed that a multi-layer network could converge to the global
minima.

networks, recurrent neural networks, and more. Each type is designed for specific
applications, such as image recognition or sequence prediction.
