Why deep learning works

Story

Aanya and Vihaan reach a new challenge: "Why deep learning works". Think about face recognition.

Pixel beeps: "Don't just read about it — let's learn by DOING. Try the demo below! "

The idea

Layers learn features. Deep networks stack many layers; early layers learn simple features and later layers combine them into complex concepts — no hand-crafting needed.

Data & compute. Deep learning shines with lots of data and GPU compute. With little data, simpler models often win.

Indian-life example — Face recognition

Early layers find edges, middle layers find eyes and noses, final layers recognise a whole face.
