What is deep learning?
Deep learning: A branch of machine learning that trains neural networks with many layers so they learn useful features directly from raw data such as pixels, audio or text, instead of relying on hand-crafted features. It powers modern image, speech and language systems.
Deep learning: an example
Instead of engineers designing features to spot a cat, a deep network learns them from millions of labelled photos.
