Introducing basic deep learning concepts
The following figure shows how deep learning fits into the field of artificial intelligence:
Figure 10.1 – How deep learning is related to other artificial intelligence fields
You can see that deep learning is a subfield of neural networks, which are a subfield of machine learning, which is a subfield of artificial intelligence. In this section, you will understand the difference between deep learning and neural networks as well as how you can classify deep learning networks.
You will learn some general concepts about deep learning. For more details, you can refer to the books contained in the Further reading section of this chapter.
The section is organized as follows:
- Introducing neural networks
- Exploring the difference between deep learning and neural networks
- Classifying deep learning networks
Let’s start from the first point: introducing neural networks.
