A subfield of machine learning that uses neural networks with many layers to learn from large datasets. Each layer transforms its input into a slightly more abstract representation, and the stack of layers can capture patterns that simpler models cannot. Deep learning powers modern speech recognition, image classification, and large language models.
Most AI engineering jobs assume working knowledge of deep learning fundamentals. Hiring managers expect candidates to explain what depth buys you, why training is expensive, and how the field moved from shallow networks to today's billion-parameter models.
