Deep Learning Overview

Among the various machine learning algorithms, deep learning has recently been dramatically used in different scopes. Deep learning models have been significantly employed in effectively extracting hidden patterns from vast amounts of data and modeling interdependent variables to solve complex problems. Since this book aims to discuss the session-based recommender system approaches using deep learning models, brief explanations of various deep neural networks are provided in this chapter. For this purpose, the history, basic concepts, advantages/applications, and fundamental models of deep learning are discussed.
