Written by: Ruperi Jadhav | Edited by: Salar Komeyshi |

What is Deep Learning?

Deep learning is a subclass of machine learning that is used to define complex data patterns. Large sums of data are often made up of multiple layers of information. Deep Learning is a branch that deciphers this layered data by imitating the human mind. It is a type of machine learning that revolves around complex neural networks and structures – and allows it to perform tasks that are similar to the human brain. 

In many industries, computer vision models are merged with deep learning algorithms to provide a higher performance scope. Some examples of these include the Automotive, Finance, and Healthcare industries. 

Applications and Examples of Deep Learning

More and more companies in multiple industries are looking at adopting Deep Learning models to enhance their level of workflow. And while individual companies are embedding these digital models in their production processes, the industries they’re a part of are applying these models in their overall operations as well. Some examples of these companies include:

Automotive Industry

Deep Learning continues to make a heavy impact on the performance of the overall automotive industry with its contributions to sectors like car manufacturing, safety, and overall functionality. Some of the key applications of deep learning in these sectors are:

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)

Deep Learning models are crucial for the production of these systems. Driver Assistance Systems are installed in Autonomous vehicles and are powered by algorithms that are trained to perform functions like emergency braking and adaptive cruise control. Deep Learning trains these algorithms through a detailed examination of layered data.

Customer Satisfaction

A large part of customer satisfaction in the automotive industry closely relates to the features a car possesses. Deep Learning plays a role in training features like voice-controlled interfaces and individualized preferences. This is done through the integration of Deep Learning and Natural Language Processing (NLP). These features enhance customer satisfaction and contribute to increasing the safety of the user when driving the vehicle.

Damage Detection

Damage Detection is especially useful for digital vehicle inspections. It is heavily dependent on learning from large sums of data. Deep Learning hence helps in studying multiple images and analyzing them to categorize this data according to the vehicle’s imperfections as this aids in increasing the overall efficiency of the inspection process.

Finance Industry

The Finance Industry is powered by data. and the examination of this data is where the scope of technology lies. Deep Learning is influencing the Finance Industry by contributing to applications that enable more accurate prediction, reduced risk problems, and increased customer satisfaction. These applications include:

Fraud Detection

Deep Learning is used to study large sums of data and hence train algorithms to detect anomalies in real time. This system is famously used in this industry to avoid any fraudulent activity.

Risk Management

Risk management is closely linked to the activity of financial systems. These systems are trained by Deep Learning to assess financial data and predict the possibility of risks. These systems create models and multiple simulations that provide a digitally appropriate prediction for the company.

Algorithmic Trading

Algorithmic trading is a concept that utilizes Deep Learning to study historical data and hence provide predictions for the market. These systems are trained to not only assess the overall market situation but also provide strategies that allow for efficient trading.

Healthcare Industry

The Healthcare Industry is clustered with multiple applications for deep learning. These AI-powered applications enhance the overall medical practice and research. Some of these applications include:

Medical Imaging

Many systems in the healthcare industry consist of Deep Learning models and are used to perform tasks like medical imaging. Deep Learning is used specifically for the classification of diseases and anomalies presented in the information given. By using convolutional neural networks (CNNs), Deep Learning models are trained to identify anomalies like tumors or other conditions in MRI and CT scans. 

Predictive Analytics and Disease Outbreak Prediction

Deep learning can be used to examine large sums of historical data and hence provide predictions and trends for the future. This is especially useful during large pandemics (like COVID-19) and can be used to manage health responses during times of panic. 

Patient Monitoring and Management

In large hospitals, Deep Learning models are integrated within systems that can worn by patients themselves. This helps hospitals in tracking simple features, such as vital signs and metrics. This deep model is trained to identify any changes in the regular pattern, and hence notify the hospital in real time accordingly.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Deep Learning is a technological component that has enhanced the workflow of many industries. With its wide expanse of applications – from Advanced Driver Assistance Systems to predictive analysis in the healthcare sector – Deep Learning is an integral part of developing systems that imitate the human mind. These applications highlight the transformative impact of deep learning in enhancing operational workflows, safety, and overall functionality across these key industries.
