This document provides an overview of deep learning methods. It defines machine learning and deep learning. Deep learning involves using neural networks with multiple layers between input and output to perform feature identification and processing similar to the human brain. Deep learning architectures include recurrent neural networks, convolutional neural networks, and generative adversarial networks. Deep learning is generally better than other methods for image, speech and certain data types because multiple layers allow for complex feature extraction. The document discusses applications of deep learning in various domains like healthcare and concludes that deep learning is growing exponentially with improved accuracy and relevance across many areas.
