Deep learning is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing fields in artificial intelligence, with applications in computer vision, natural language processing, speech recognition, and many other areas. The performance of deep learning algorithms is heavily dependent on the quality and size of the training data. In this article, we will be exploring the 10 best datasets for deep learning in 2023.
