Everything you need to know about deep learning
Deep learning is a subset of machine learning that uses neural networks with multiple layers (hence "deep"). While traditional machine learning often requires manual feature engineering, deep learning models automatically learn feature representations from raw data. Deep learning excels at handling unstructured data like images, audio, and text, making it more powerful for complex tasks.
For beginners, a standard CPU is sufficient for learning concepts and small models. However, for training larger models, a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) dramatically speeds up computation. NVIDIA GPUs with CUDA support are most common. Cloud platforms like Google Colab, AWS, or Azure also offer GPU access without requiring expensive hardware investments.
TensorFlow and PyTorch are the two most popular frameworks. PyTorch is often recommended for beginners due to its intuitive, Pythonic syntax and excellent for research. TensorFlow has strong production deployment capabilities and a larger ecosystem. Both are excellent choices, and many concepts transfer between them.
It varies by task complexity. Simple problems might need hundreds to thousands of examples, while complex tasks like image recognition may require tens of thousands or more. Techniques like transfer learning, data augmentation, and pre-trained models can significantly reduce data requirements by leveraging existing knowledge.
Deep learning powers many modern AI applications: computer vision (facial recognition, autonomous vehicles), natural language processing (chatbots, translation), speech recognition (voice assistants), recommendation systems, medical diagnosis, drug discovery, robotics, game playing, and generative AI (image/text generation).
Training time varies widely based on model complexity, dataset size, and hardware. Simple models might train in minutes on a GPU, while large language models or complex vision systems can take days or weeks on powerful hardware clusters. Modern techniques like distributed training and efficient architectures help reduce training time.
Python is the primary language for deep learning. You should be comfortable with Python basics, NumPy for numerical computing, and basic linear algebra and calculus concepts. Familiarity with libraries like Pandas for data manipulation and Matplotlib for visualization is also helpful. Most importantly, start with projects and learn by doing.
