Deep Learning (DL)
Deep learning is a branch of artificial intelligence that uses neural networks with many layers to learn patterns from large amounts of data. It is especially effective at handling complex tasks such as image recognition, speech processing, and natural language understanding. Deep learning models improve performance as they are trained on more data and computing power. This approach powers many modern AI applications, including virtual assistants, recommendation systems, and autonomous technologies. Its ability to automatically learn features makes it a key driver of recent advances in AI.
