Deep learning model architectures refer to the structural design and organization of neural networks used in machine learning tasks. These architectures determine how data flows through the network, influence learning capability, and impact performance across various applications such as image recognition, natural language processing, and speech synthesis. Common architectures include Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), Transformers, Autoencoders, and Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). Over time, innovations in model architecture have significantly advanced the field, enabling models to handle complex tasks with greater accuracy and efficiency.
