Deep Learning Architecture
Architecture Fundamentals
Core Concepts
Deep learning is like having many layers of experts working together, each one learning something more complex than the last. It's how modern AI systems learn to understand images, text, and speech.Layer Architecture
The Layer Concept
Think of it like a team of specialists:
- First layer spots simple patterns
- Middle layers combine these patterns
- Deep layers understand complex concepts
- Final layer makes decisions
Example: Like how you recognize a face - first seeing lines, then features, then the whole face.
Network Types
Vision Systems (CNNs)
These are specialized for understanding images:
- Look at small pieces first
- Combine pieces into features
- Build up to full understanding
- Great at finding patterns
Example: How image recognition works in your phone's camera.
Language Systems (Transformers)
These handle text and speech:
- Understand words in context
- Remember important information
- Make connections between ideas
- Learn from conversations
