Deep learning is a more advanced version of machine learning that is particularly adept at processing a wider range of data resources(text, as well as unstructured data including images), requires even less human intervention, and can often produce more accurate results than traditional machine learning. Deep learning uses neural networks—based on the ways neurons interact in the human brain—to ingest and process data through multiple neuron layers that recognize increasingly complex features of the data. 4, record 1, English, - deep%20learning

aprendizaje profundo: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que la expresión "aprendizaje profundo", que se emplea para referirse a un conjunto de algoritmos diseñados para analizar datos en múltiples niveles con los que los computadores pueden identificar patrones de manera automática, es una alternativa a "deep learning". [...] el "aprendizaje profundo" es una rama de la inteligencia artificial por la que la máquina aprende a partir de ejemplos y elabora por sí sola patrones cada vez más complejos, simulando el funcionamiento del cerebro. 1, record 1, Spanish, - aprendizaje%20profundo

The purpose of the nondirective model is to provide a foundation for personal growth and development so that learning will continue throughout life in a self-directed manner. This model is based on Carl Rogers work, and the idea that instruction should be based on human relations. Nondirective teaching brings the student and teacher together to guide the students’ learning. The model can be very unstructured in that the student decides what they will learn next and why. It may also be used in conjunction with other models. 1, record 4, English, - nondirective%20teaching
