Deep Learning

Introduction

Deep Learning is a subset of machine learning that uses artificial neural


networks, modeled after the human brain, to process data and create patterns for
decision-making. It's especially powerful for analyzing large and complex
datasets, enabling breakthroughs in tasks that were once difficult for machines.
Deep learning uses layers of interconnected nodes (neurons) in a neural network
to extract features from data and make predictions or classifications. Unlike
traditional machine learning, deep learning can automatically learn features
from raw data, eliminating the need for manual feature engineering.

Key Characteristics:
 Multi-layered architecture: Includes input, hidden, and output layers.
 End-to-end learning: Automatically learns relevant features.
 Scalability: Performs well with large datasets and high computational
power.
 Core Components of Deep Learning
A. Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs)
The foundation of deep learning, ANNs consist of:
 Input Layer: Takes raw data as input.
 Hidden Layers: Performs computations, learning complex patterns.
 Output Layer: Generates predictions or classifications.

B. Layers in Deep Learning


1. Fully Connected Layers: Each neuron is connected to every neuron in the next layer.
2. Convolutional Layers (CNNs): Extract spatial features from images.
3. Recurrent Layers (RNNs): Handle sequential data like time series or text.
4. Dropout Layers: Prevent overfitting by randomly dropping neurons during training.

C. Activation Functions
Determine the output of neurons:
 Sigmoid: Output ranges between 0 and 1.
 ReLU (Rectified Linear Unit): Faster convergence, commonly used in deep
networks.
 Softmax: Used in the output layer for classification.

D. Loss Functions
Measure the error between predictions and actual values:
 Cross-Entropy Loss: Used for classification tasks.
 Mean Squared Error (MSE): Used for regression tasks.

E. Optimization Algorithms
Update weights to minimize the loss function:
 Gradient Descent: Adjusts weights using the gradient of the loss function.
 Adam Optimizer: Combines the benefits of Momentum and RMSprop.
 Types of Deep Learning Architectures

A. Feedforward Neural Networks (FNNs)


 The simplest neural network with unidirectional flow of data.
 Used for basic classification and regression tasks.
B. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs)
 Specialized for image and video data.
 Applications: Object detection, image recognition, medical imaging.
C. Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs)
 Designed for sequential data (e.g., time series, text).
 Variants: Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Units (GRU).
 Applications: Language translation, speech recognition.
D. Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs)
 Consist of two networks: a generator and a discriminator.
 Applications: Deepfakes, image synthesis, art generation.
E. Autoencoders
 Used for unsupervised learning by encoding and decoding data.
 Applications: Anomaly detection, image compression.
F. Transformers
 Revolutionized natural language processing (NLP).
 Use self-attention mechanisms to process data in parallel.
 Examples: BERT, GPT series.
 How Deep Learning Works
1. Data Input:
Raw data (images, text, audio) is fed into the input layer.
2. Feature Extraction:
Hidden layers automatically extract features using weights and biases.
3. Forward Propagation:
Data moves through the layers to generate predictions.
4. Loss Calculation:
The loss function computes the error in predictions.
5. Backpropagation:
Adjusts weights by propagating the error back through the network.
6. Iteration:
The process is repeated until the model achieves the desired accuracy.
