What is Deep Learning and How Does It Work?

Deep Learning is a form of Artificial Intelligence, derived from Machine Learning. To understand what Deep Learning is, it is important to understand what Machine Learning is. In the 1950s, the British mathematician Alan Turing imagined a machine capable of learning, a "Learning Machine". Over the next few decades, different Machine Learning techniques were developed to create algorithms that could learn and improve independently. These techniques include artificial neural networks.
