What is Deep Learning? Applications in life

Applications of Deep Learning

1. What is Deep Learning?

Deep Learning is a sub-branch of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI), but it works on more abstract concepts. This technology improves existing algorithms to simulate the workings of the human brain, aiming to achieve the ability to process information on its own and make accurate predictions.

Deep Learning is a method of Machine Learning in which artificial neural networks are used to simulate the thinking ability of the human brain.

Neural networks in Deep Learning consist of multiple layers, and the more layers there are, the 'deeper' the network becomes. Each layer consists of nodes and is connected to other adjacent layers. Each connection between nodes has a weight, and this weight value affects the neural network.

Each node in the network has an activation function that normalizes the output of the node. Data is fed into the neural network and passed through the layers, then the result is returned to the final layer, called the output layer. During the training of the neural network model, the weights are adjusted to optimize the judgment.

3. Applications of Deep Learning

Deep Learning, a method in Machine Learning, is being widely applied in many areas of daily life. Here are some typical applications:

- Self-driving cars: Self-driving car technology relies on deep neural networks to recognize objects, calculate distances, identify lanes and traffic signals, and make accurate decisions. A typical example is Tesla.

- Sentiment Analysis: Deep Learning is used to analyze emotions through natural language processing and text data. Companies use this technology to predict customer emotions, thereby improving marketing and business strategies.

- Virtual assistants: Virtual assistants like Siri, Google Assistant, and chatbots use Deep Learning to recognize text, process natural language, and voice, providing intelligent user experiences.

- Social media: Major social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram use Deep Learning algorithms to understand user preferences and prevent online violence, while suggesting appropriate content.

- Healthcare: Deep Learning has a huge impact on healthcare, helping to diagnose diseases, predict health conditions, analyze medical images such as X-rays and MRIs, and aid in cancer treatment.

4.  Can Deep Learning replace Machine Learning?

The decision of whether to use Deep Learning instead of Machine Learning depends on the specific goals, amount of data, resources, and business strategy of each project. Although Deep Learning has good performance and accuracy thanks to complex models and big data, it is not the only choice in the field of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.

The Machine Learning process begins with manually extracting important features from images, which are then used to build a model that classifies objects in the image. To better understand Machine Learning, readers can refer to the article below:
