During training, the network makes a prediction, measures the error with a loss function, and uses backpropagation plus gradient descent to nudge every weight in the right direction. Repeat across thousands of examples and accuracy climbs.<\/p>\n<h2>Why It Took Off<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Huge labeled datasets such as ImageNet<\/li>\n<li>Cheap, powerful GPU compute<\/li>\n<li>Open frameworks like PyTorch and TensorFlow<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Common Architectures<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>CNNs<\/strong> \u2014 images and video<\/li>\n<li><strong>RNNs and LSTMs<\/strong> \u2014 sequences and time series<\/li>\n<li><strong>Transformers<\/strong> \u2014 language, audio, and now vision<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Start<\/h2>\n<p>Learn Python, pick PyTorch or TensorFlow, and train a small model on a public dataset.
