The guide ends on the subject of Deep Learning, defining it as:

"Deep learning is a type of machine learning that can process a wider range of data resources, requires less data preprocessing by humans, and can often produce more accurate results than traditional machine-learning approaches (although it requires a larger amount of data to do so.)"

They present 2 majors models of deep learning and some business use cases:
