Deep learning and Its Development

Abstract

Deep learning is a promising branch of machine learning. It is an algorithm that uses artificial neural networks as the architecture to characterize and learn data. In recent years, many companies, for example, Google, Microsoft and Baidu, have become interested in the field of deep learning and have set up many large-scale projects, such as Google’s Deepmind project, including alphago, which has achieved success in Go and e-sports. This article analyzes and summarizes each current research direction and approach of deep learning, with prospection about the future research direction and development of deep learning expounded. An overview of the three basic models of deep learning is given, namely multilayer perceptrons and perceptrons, convolutional neural networks and recurrent neural networks. The benefits and superiority of the deep learning algorithm are illustrated and compared with the conventional methodology used in the common applications. Further research on emerging types of convolutional neural networks and recurrent neural networks are introduced. An overview of the three basic models of deep learning is given, namely multilayer perceptrons and perceptrons, convolutional neural networks and recurrent neural networks. The current application of deep learning in various fields is summarized, such as artificial intelligence, computer vision and natural language processing applications, and some open problems for future research are also analyzed. Finally, the significance and purpose of deep learning are discussed.
