Deep Learning
Machine learning that uses multi-layer neural networks to learn complex patterns.
Deep learning is a subset of machine learning that stacks multiple hidden layers of artificial neurons, letting models discover hierarchical representations — edges become shapes, shapes become objects — without manual feature engineering. That automatic feature extraction makes it practical for images, audio, and natural language at scale. On the AIF-C01 exam, remember that traditional machine learning needs hand-crafted features and suits structured tabular data, while deep learning thrives on unstructured data but demands far more training data and compute. AWS delivers deep learning models through Amazon Bedrock (managed foundation models) and Amazon SageMaker (custom training and hosting).
