What is Deep Learning? Everything you need to know

Although technology has come a long way in recent years, not least in terms of the immense power and resources available through cloud computing services let alone the vast amount of data that can be allocated to cloud storage, computers and machines still can't match the power of the human brain. What makes humans so unique is that we can learn as we go, drawing on our memories and experiences. That means taking in data from the world around us and forming ideas about how to optimally perform tasks or understand new information. Deep learning, which is a branch of artificial intelligence, aims to replicate our ability to learn and evolve in machines. At the end of the day, deep learning allows computers to take in new information, decipher it, and produce an output--all without humans needing to be involved in the process.
