Deep Learning: The Foundation of Modern AI

Introduction to Deep Learning

Definition: Deep Learning is a subfield of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning inspired by the structure of the Human Brain.

It is part of a broader family of machine learning methods based on artificial neural networks with representative learning.

Representative Learning

• Automatic Feature Extraction
• A process where machine learning models automatically identify and optimize patterns from raw data to enhance performance. Deep learning uses neural networks to automatically learn features, which is different from traditional machine learning that relies more on statistical techniques.

Why Deep Learning is Getting Popular

• Applicability: Deep learning models are applicable in various domains such as healthcare (early disease detection) and finance (fraud detection).

• Performance: Deep learning has demonstrated state-of-the-art performance in complex tasks. Example: AlphaGo, an AI developed by DeepMind, defeated world champion Go player Lee Sedol 4 out of 5 times in 2016, showing deep learning's power in mastering complex strategic games.

How Deep Learning Works

• Hierarchical Feature Extraction: Deep learning algorithms use multiple layers to progressively extract higher-level features from raw input data.

Example: In image recognition, initial layers detect basic features (edges, textures), and deeper layers detect complex patterns like shapes, objects, and faces.

Deep Learning vs Machine Learning

1. Data Dependency

• Deep Learning: Requires large datasets for optimal performance, where more data improves accuracy.

Example: Autonomous driving requires millions of labeled images/videos.

• Machine Learning: Can perform well with smaller datasets.

Example: Decision tree classifiers for customer churn can work well with a few thousand records.

2. Hardware Dependency

• Deep Learning: Requires GPUs for efficient training due to matrix multiplications. Training on CPUs is slow.

Example: Training a deep neural network for image recognition on a CPU may take days, while GPUs can complete it in hours.

• Machine Learning: Works efficiently on standard CPUs without the need for expensive hardware.

Example: Algorithms like decision trees or linear regression can run on a CPU.

3. Training Time

• Deep Learning: Requires long training times (days or weeks) due to large datasets and complex models but makes predictions quickly after training.
• Machine Learning: Training times vary depending on the algorithm, but generally, training is quicker for traditional models.

Example: Decision trees train quickly, while KNN may take longer for predictions due to runtime data search.

4. Feature Selection

• Deep Learning: Automatically extracts relevant features through representative learning, reducing the need for manual feature selection.

Example: In image recognition, deep learning identifies edges, shapes, and patterns automatically.

• Machine Learning: Requires manual feature selection, where domain experts must choose relevant attributes.

Example: In a house price prediction model, features like square footage, number of bedrooms, and location need to be manually selected.

5. Interpretability

• Deep Learning: Often considered a "black box" because it is hard to interpret how decisions are made.

Example: A deep learning model banning a user for a comment may not offer clear reasoning for the decision.

• Machine Learning: Offers higher interpretability with models like decision trees and logistic regression providing clear reasons for decisions.

Example: A decision tree may highlight specific keywords or patterns that lead to a user ban.
