Delving into deep learning

Simple ML methods that were used in normal-size data analysis are not effective anymore and should be substituted by more robust ML methods. Although classical ML techniques allow researchers to identify groups or clusters of related variables, the accuracy and effectiveness of these methods diminish with large and high-dimensional datasets.

Here comes deep learning, which is one of the most important developments in artificial intelligence in the last few years. Deep learning is a branch of ML based on a set of algorithms that attempt to model high-level abstractions in data.
