Machine Learning vs.
Deep Learning
Machine Learning:
Machine Learning (ML) is a subset of AI that involves the use of algorithms and statistical models to
enable machines to improve at tasks through experience. ML systems learn from data, identify
patterns, and make decisions with minimal human intervention.
Types of ML:
- Supervised Learning: The model is trained on labeled data.
- Unsupervised Learning: The model finds hidden patterns in unlabeled data.
- Reinforcement Learning: The model learns through rewards and punishments.
Deep Learning:
Deep Learning (DL) is a subset of ML that uses neural networks with many layers (deep neural
networks). It is particularly effective for complex tasks such as image and speech recognition.
Differences:
- Data Dependency: DL requires large amounts of data, while ML can work with smaller datasets.
- Hardware Dependency: DL often requires powerful hardware and GPUs.
- Feature Engineering: ML often requires manual feature extraction, while DL automates this
process.
Applications:
ML and DL are used in various applications including natural language processing, autonomous
driving, and predictive analytics.
