Deep Learning
What is Deep Learning?
A subfield of machine learning that uses neural networks with many layers (deep networks) to learn representations of data directly from raw inputs. Deep learning enables models to learn hierarchical features without manual feature engineering. It underpins virtually all modern AI capabilities — from image recognition to language generation.
Example in practice
A diagnostics company that trains an AI to detect tumours in radiology scans directly from pixel data — without any human-engineered image features — is using deep learning to let the model discover relevant patterns autonomously.
