Nowadays, Deep Learning is taking the world by a storm, known as a technology that makes use of Artificial Neural Networks to automatically extrapolate knowledge from a training data set, then uses this knowledge to give predictions for unseen samples. This data driven paradigm gained a widespread adoption in many disciplines, from handwriting recognition, driving an autonomous car to cracking the 50-year-old protein folding problem. With this review, we shed some light on the concepts of Deep Learning and provide some visualizations, skim over the different architectures such as Deep Neural Network (DNN), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) and touch upon the modern architectures such as Transformers and BERT. We also provide various examples targeting the genomics field, reference utilities, libraries useful for newcomers and disseminate our feedback.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
