This document provides an introduction to deep learning. It defines deep learning as a machine learning technique that analyzes and learns from data to make predictions. Deep learning uses artificial neural networks inspired by the brain's neural network, consisting of connected artificial neurons that transmit signals. The document discusses network layers that extract representations from input data, activation functions, gradient descent, loss functions, epochs, and predictions. It provides examples of real-world deep learning applications like image classification, facial recognition, and self-driving cars.
