Deep learning is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that is inspired by the structure and function of the brain. It uses algorithms to model complex data in a nonlinear manner, allowing it to develop meaningful understanding and generate accurate predictions. These algorithms process data both in the form of input layers and hidden layers which make up a series of neural networks. This allows deep learning systems to continuously refine their processes to adjust how they interpret and respond to data, enabling them to make decisions and predictions more accurately than traditional machine learning methods.
