Deep Learning
This page is about the skill Deep Learning, which is one of more than 40 technical skills you can assess on Alooba. The Deep Learning skill is about the subcategory of Neural Networks that use many hidden layers of neurons. It will be important to be able to distinguish between Neural Networks and Deep Learning and explain why adding hidden layers of neurons changes the performance of a Neural Network structure. It will also be expected to talk about the advances in that field and applications (like increased performance in image recognition for example), give examples of successful Deep Learning structures and applications. Showing an understanding of frameworks that facilitate the use of Deep Learning is also required.
