Deep learning

A subset of machine learning, deep learning is a form of artificial intelligence that aims to mimic neural networks of the human brain.

Its primary function is to process data to produce accurate insights and predictions.

Deep learning technology is far from matching the brain's ability, but it can learn from large sets of data — lots of information — as humans do. These large data sets are often referred to as big data. Deep learning is used in self-driving cars, picture recognition, fraud detection technology and household digital assistants. (za/fs)
