Deep learning is used in Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Mark scheme

Marking points from the official mark scheme (Oct/Nov 2022). The mark or mark type is shown in brackets.

1. [2] One mark for each correct point (Max 2)
2. • Uses artificial neural network(s)
3. • ... that contain(s) a high number of hidden layers
4. • modelled on the human brain.
5. • Deep learning uses many layers to progressively extract higher level features from the (raw) input.
6. • Deep learning is a specialised form of machine learning.
7. [2] One mark for each correct point (Max 2)
8. • Deep learning makes good use of unstructured data.
9. • Deep learning outperforms other methods if the data size is large.
10. • Deep learning systems enable machines to process data with a nonlinear approach.
11. • Deep learning is effective at identifying (hidden) patterns / patterns that humans might not be able to see / patterns that are too complex / time consuming for humans to carry out.
12. • It can provide a more accurate outcome with higher numbers of hidden layers.
