Applications of deep learning

Deep Learning is a type of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that uses computers to learn, think and act like a person. To do this, the computer uses complex mathematical equations and algorithms to find patterns in lots of data. One way Deep Learning is used is to find patterns in images. For example, in self-driving cars, Deep Learning can be used to recognize things like traffic lights and stop signs. Deep Learning can also be used to recognize specific people's faces in videos, which may be used in security systems.In addition, Deep Learning can identify objects in videos and photos, which may be used in search engines to find objects in images. Finally, Deep Learning can be used to translate text from one language to another, and to understand what people are saying in audio recordings.
