 ** Deep Learning Essentials for Beginners and Experts Alike!

Deep learning is a subset of machine learning that employs neural networks with multiple layers to analyze data. These models can learn complex patterns in data without being explicitly programmed.

**Key Concepts:**

1. **Activation Functions:** Non-linear functions used to introduce complexity into the model.
2. **Loss Function:** Measures how well the model's predictions match actual values.
3. **Optimizers:** Adjust weights to minimize loss, ensuring better predictions.
4. **Autoencoders:** Type of neural network that compresses input data into a compact representation.

**Types of Autoencoders:**

1. Denoising
2. Variational
3. Sparse

**Data Compression:**

1. Lossless (e.g., Huffman Coding)
2. Lossy (e.g., JPEG, MP3)
