Introduction to Deep Learning

History of Deep Learning

The History of Deep Learning

The history of deep learning can be traced back to the 1940s when the first artificial neurons were developed. These neurons were modeled after the neurons in the brain and were used to create artificial neural networks (ANNs). However, ANNs were limited in their capabilities due to the lack of computing power and data available at the time.

The Backpropagation Algorithm

In the 1980s, researchers developed the backpropagation algorithm, which allowed for more efficient training of ANNs. This led to increased interest in deep learning and the development of more complex neural networks.

The Decline and Resurgence of Interest

The 1990s saw a decline in interest in deep learning due to the lack of significant breakthroughs and the rise of other machine learning techniques such as support vector machines. However, in the 2000s, the availability of large amounts of data and increased computing power led to a resurgence in interest in deep learning.

Significant Breakthroughs

One of the most significant breakthroughs in deep learning came in 2012 when a deep convolutional neural network was used to win the ImageNet computer vision competition. This marked a turning point in the field and led to the development of more advanced deep learning techniques such as recurrent neural networks and generative adversarial networks.
