Advantages and disadvantages of Deep Learning
S.No | Advantages | Disadvantages |
---|---|---|
1 | Highly Effective in Complex Tasks involving large datasets and complex patterns, such as image and speech recognition, natural language processing, and game playing | May require large amounts of data for training, which can be both costly and time-consuming to obtain |
2 | Deep Learning models can process both structured and unstructured data effectively structured data - tabular data unstructured data - images, text, audio | Computationally intensive and often requires specialized hardware, like GPUs or TPUs |
3 | Automatically learn and extract relevant features from raw data, reducing the need for manual feature engineering or domain expertise | Prone to overfitting, where they perform well on training data but generalize poorly on new, unseen data |
4 | State-of-the-Art Performance in several domains surpassing human-level performance, and setting new benchmarks | Hyper-parameter tuning process is tedious: Finding the right hyperparameters for deep networks can be challenging and may require extensive experimentation |
5 | Wide range of applications across industries , including marketing, finance, customer service, virtual assistants, chatbots etc. | Black box in nature as it is almost impossible to understand what is happening in hidden layers within deep networks |
