Deep learning

As explained in WordPress Power Toolkit: Harness AI to build next-level websites

Deep learning is a machine-learning approach that uses multilayer artificial neural networks to learn hierarchical representations from large amounts of data.

Deep learning is a subdomain of machine learning that uses artificial neural networks with multiple layers. These layers process vast amounts of data hierarchically, helping systems learn complex representations and abstractions. section 13.3

For website work, deep learning can power advanced data mining. It can uncover hidden patterns and relationships in analytics about ads, scrolling, downloads, forms, and other site components. section 12.7

AlphaGo Zero learns Go

AlphaGo Zero received only the rules of Go, without previous game data, human coaching, or expert instructions. Through deep learning algorithms, it developed unusual strategies that defeated leading human players. section 13.3.1

Deep learning connects with several major AI areas:

  • Machine learning provides the broader category; deep learning uses multilayer neural networks within it. section 13.3
  • Artificial neural networks supply the layered structure used to process information hierarchically. section 13.3
  • Analytics and data mining provide practical website applications for finding patterns in visitor behavior. section 12.7
