Why Deep Learning is needed

Description

Deep Learning is a subset of Machine Learning that uses neural networks with many layers (hence "deep") to model complex patterns in data. Unlike traditional ML, deep learning excels at automatically learning features from raw data without the need for manual feature engineering.

Why Deep Learning is Needed

Handles Complex Data: Deep learning can process and learn from unstructured data like images, audio, and text.
Automated Feature Extraction: No need for manual feature engineering—deep networks learn representations automatically.
State-of-the-Art Performance: Achieves top results in vision, speech, and NLP tasks.
Scales with Data: Performs better with more data and more computational power.
End-to-End Learning: Capable of learning directly from raw input to final prediction.

Examples

Example: Deep Learning for Image Classification

# Simple CNN using TensorFlow for image classification
import tensorflow as tf
from tensorflow.keras import layers, models

model = models.Sequential([
    layers.Conv2D(32, (3, 3), activation='relu', input_shape=(28, 28, 1)),
    layers.MaxPooling2D((2, 2)),
    layers.Flatten(),
    layers.Dense(64, activation='relu'),
    layers.Dense(10, activation='softmax')
])

model.compile(optimizer='adam', loss='sparse_categorical_crossentropy', metrics=['accuracy'])
model.summary()

This deep learning model learns from raw pixel data without manual feature engineering.
