Overview
What is deep learning?
Deep learning is a subset of machine learning where neural networks — algorithms inspired by the human brain — learn from large amounts of data. Deep learning algorithms perform a task repeatedly and gradually improve the outcome through deep layers that enable progressive learning. It’s part of a broader family of machine learning methods based on neural networks.
Deep learning is making a big impact across industries. In life sciences, deep learning can be used for advanced image analysis, research, drug discovery, prediction of health problems and disease symptoms, and the acceleration of insights from genomic sequencing. In transportation, it can help autonomous vehicles adapt to changing conditions. It is also used to protect critical infrastructure and speed response.
Businesses often outsource the development of deep learning. However, it is better to keep the deep learning development work for use cases that are core to your business. These include fraud detection and recommendations, predictive maintenance and time-series data analysis, recommendation system optimization, customer relationship management, and predicting the clickthrough rate of online advertising.

Benefits of deep learning on IBM Watson Studio
Features
Experiment Builder
Initiate and monitor batch training experiments, compare cross-model performance in real time and focus on designing neural networks.
Distributed deep learning (DDL)
Enable popular open source frameworks such as TensorFlow, Caffe, Torch and Chainer to scale to multiple GPUs.
Handwritten digit recognition
Use a pretrained PyTorch model to predict handwritten numbers from images. Use REST APIs to submit training jobs, monitor status, and store and deploy models.
Image classification
Perform multiclass classification, preprocess and access images, and create visualizations to gain a better understanding of your models.
Language models
Use a notebook, Keras and TensorFlow to build a language model for text generation.
