Difference Between Machine Learning and Deep Learning
Machine Learning and Deep Learning are the two main concepts of Data Science and
the subsets of Artificial Intelligence. Most of the people think the machine learning,
deep learning, and as well as artificial intelligence as the same buzzwords. But in
actuality, all these terms are different but related to each other.
In this topic, we will learn how machine learning is different from deep learning. But
before learning the differences, lets first have a brief introduction of machine
learning and deep learning.
In deep learning, models use different layers to learn and discover insights from the
data.
Some popular applications of deep learning are self-driving cars, language translation,
natural language processing, etc.

Let's understand the key differences between these two terms based on different
parameters:
As we have seen the brief introduction of ML and DL with some comparisons, now why
and which one needs to be chosen to solve a particular problem. So, it can be
understood by the given flowchart:
Hence, if you have lots of data and high hardware capabilities, go with deep learning.
But if you don't have any of them, choose the ML model to solve your problem.
Conclusion: In conclusion, we can say that deep learning is machine learning with
more capabilities and a different working approach. And selecting any of them to solve
a particular problem is depend on the amount of data and complexity of the problem.
