Deep Learning Algorithms

Back to Glossary

A subfield of Machine Learning (ML) that utilizes artificial neural networks with multiple layers to process information. Deep learning algorithms excel at pattern recognition tasks, making them particularly effective for image recognition, including facial recognition, within the digital identity space.

 

They do this by mimicking the human brain's structure and function, these algorithms enable highly accurate facial recognition technology, playing a significant role in secure user authentication and identity verification processes.

How Deep Learning Algorithms Work

Deep learning algorithms are inspired by the structure and function of the human brain. They consist of artificial neural networks with multiple interconnected layers, each layer processing information and extracting features from the data. These layers progressively build upon each other, allowing the algorithm to learn complex patterns from vast amounts of data.

Applications of Deep Learning Algorithms in Digital Identity

  • Facial Recognition: Deep learning algorithms are at the core of advanced facial recognition technology used for secure user authentication in various applications, like mobile banking or digital wallet access.

  • Document Verification: These algorithms can analyse and verify identity documents like passports or driver's licenses, streamlining the onboarding process.

  • Fraud Detection: Deep learning can identify patterns in user behaviour or data anomalies, potentially indicating fraudulent activity.
