  • Deep Learning — The name given to traversing a Stacked Neural Network with more than 3 layers. Each layer of nodes trains on the output from the previous layer to identify features. The further you advance into the neural net, more complex features can be recognized, since they aggregate and recombine features from the previous layer. One challenge it solves in medicine is identifying and classifying the massive and onerous volume of raw unstructured and unlabeled data in the medical record, replete with freeform text and images, information that has not been organized in a queryable form beyond that of a simplistic keyword search.
