Want to know how Deep Learning works? Here’s a quick guide for everyone.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are some of the hottest topics right now.
The term “AI” is thrown around casually every day. You hear aspiring developers saying they want to learn AI. You also hear executives saying they want to implement AI in their services. But quite often, many of these people don’t understand what AI is.
Once you’ve read this article, you will understand the basics of AI and ML. More importantly, you will understand how Deep Learning, the most popular type of ML, works.
This guide is intended for everyone, so no advanced mathematics will be involved.
Background
The first step towards understanding how Deep Learning works is to grasp the differences between important terms.
Artificial Intelligence vs Machine Learning
Artificial Intelligence is the replication of human intelligence in computers.
When AI research first started, researchers were trying to replicate human intelligence for specific tasks — like playing a game.
They introduced a vast number of rules that the computer needed to respect. The computer had a specific list of possible…
