Advantages and disadvantages of Deep Learning

S.NoAdvantagesDisadvantages
1Highly 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 expertiseProne 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
