=== Machine Learning vs. Deep Learning ===

Even with the above infographic, there is still probably some confusion with what distinguishes Deep Learning from Machine Learning. If you are confused, it is an important reminder that everything it says about Machine Learning also applies to Deep Learning, “enable machines to improve with experience.” The main difference is that conventional Machine Learning algorithms require manual intervention in the area of feature extraction, while Deep Learning algorithms do it themselves. See the infographic below:

What this means is that Deep Learning algorithms have the added advantage that they can be setup randomly, with random weights and biases. And as along as we tell it what we want the output to be, let’s say a car, it will find out the best way to distinguish whether any given input is in indeed a car. In other words, it can teach itself. On the other hand, with traditional machine learning, the programmer would have to tell the algorithm what “features” to look for when determining if something was a car.
