Deep learning has gained widespread popularity in scientific computing, and its algorithms are widely used in industries that solve complex problems. All deep learning algorithms use different types of neural networks to perform specific tasks. What is deep learning
Deep learning is a new research direction in the field of machine learning, which aims to bring machines closer to artificial intelligence. It interprets data such as text, images, and sounds by learning the internal rules and representation levels of sample data. The goal of deep learning is to make machines analytic and learn like humans, and to be able to recognize data such as text, images, and sounds. Deep learning mimics human activities such as audio-visual and thinking, solves many complex pattern recognition problems, and makes great progress in artificial intelligence-related technologies. 
While deep learning algorithms have self-learning representations, they rely on artificial neural networks that reflect the way the brain calculates information. During training, the algorithm uses unknown elements in the input distribution to extract features, group objects, and discover useful data patterns. Just like training a machine to teach itself, this happens at multiple levels, using algorithms to build models.
The following is an introduction to the current mainstream deep learning algorithm models and application cases.
01 RNN (Recurrent Neural Network).
Recurrent neural network (RNN) It simulates the memory capacity of a neural network and is able to process data with time-series characteristics. It can sequence on a given sequence of data** with a certain memory capacity, thanks to the connection of nodes between its hidden layers. This structure allows it to process time series data, memorize past inputs, and train with temporal backpropagation. In addition, RNNs can use different architectural variants to solve specific problems. For example, LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) and GRU (Gated Recurrent Unit) are improved algorithms that can solve the gradient vanishing or ** problems common in RNNs. In the processing of time series data, RNN has a strong advantage, which can effectively capture the complex time dependencies in the data and accurately improve the future, so it is widely used in natural language processing, speech recognition, and other fields.
Key Technologies:Recirculating structure and memory unit.
Processing data:Ideal for working with time series data.
Application Scenarios:Natural language processing, speech recognition, time series**, and more.
02 CNN (Convolutional Neural Network).
The basic principle of CNN is to use convolution operation to extract local features of data. This network architecture consists of an input layer, an output layer, and multiple hidden layers in between, using convolutional, relu, and pooling layers to learn data-specific features. Among them, the convolutional layer is used to extract features at different locations in the image, the relu layer is used to convert the numerical features into nonlinear forms, and the pooling layer is used to reduce the number of features while maintaining the overall characteristics of the features. During the training process, CNN calculates the gradient of the model parameters through the backpropagation algorithm, and updates the model parameters through the optimization algorithm to minimize the loss function. CNN has a wide range of applications in image recognition, face recognition, autonomous driving, speech processing, natural language processing and other fields.
Key Technologies:Convolution operations and pooling operations
Processing data:Ideal for processing image data.
Application Scenarios:Computer vision, image classification, object detection, etc.
03 transformer
Transformer is a neural network model based on the self-attention mechanism, proposed by Google in 2017, with efficient parallel computing capabilities and powerful representation capabilities. It is a neural network model based on the self-attention mechanism, which uses the attention mechanism to process the relationship between the input sequence and the output sequence, so that the parallel processing of long sequences can be realized. Its core part is the attention module, which is used to quantify the similarity between each element in the input sequence and each element in the output sequence. This pattern exhibits strong performance when working with sequential data, especially when dealing with sequential data tasks such as natural language processing. Therefore, Transformer models have been widely used in the field of natural language processing, such as BERT, GPT, and Transformer XL. However, there are also some limitations, such as high data requirements, poor interpretability, and limited ability to learn long-distance dependencies, so the application needs to be selected and optimized according to the task requirements and data characteristics.
Key technologies: self-attention mechanism and multi-head attention mechanism.
Processing data:Ideal for processing long series of data.
Application Scenarios:Natural language processing, machine translation, text generation.
04 bert
bert（bidirectional encoder representations from transformers）
The goal of the BERT model is to use large-scale label-free corpus training to obtain the representation of the text containing rich semantic information, that is, the semantic representation of the text, and then fine-tune the semantic representation of the text in a specific NLP task, and finally apply it to the NLP task. The BERT model emphasizes that the traditional one-way language model or the method of shallow splicing of two one-way language models is no longer used for pre-training, but the new Masked Language Model (MLM) is used to generate deep bidirectional language representations.
Key Technologies:Bidirectional transformer encoder and pre-trained fine-tuning.
Processing data:Ideal for handling bidirectional contextual information.
Application Scenarios:Natural language processing, text classification, sentiment analysis, and more.
05 GPT (Generative Pretrained Transformer Model)
GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) is a deep learning model that is based on the Internet, can be trained on data, and generates text. The design of the GPT model is also based on the Transformer model, which is a neural network structure for sequential modeling. Unlike traditional recurrent neural networks (RNNs), the Transformer model uses a self-attention mechanism that can better handle long sequences and parallel computations, and therefore has better efficiency and performance. GPT models learn the syntax, semantics, and pragmatics of natural language through unsupervised pre-training on large-scale text corpora. 
The pre-training process is divided into two stages: in the first stage, the model needs to learn the Masked Language Modeling (MLM) task, which is to mask some words randomly in the input sentence and then ask the model to ** those words; In the second stage, the model needs to learn the Next Sentence Prediction (NSP) task, that is, a pair of sentences are fed and the model needs to determine whether they are adjacent. The performance of GPT models has approached or surpassed the performance of some human professional fields.
Key Technologies:One-way transformer encoder and pre-trained fine-tuning.
Processing data:Ideal for generating coherent text
Application Scenarios:Natural language processing, text generation, summarization, and more.
