A deep feature is a representation of data extracted by a deep learning model, typically from intermediate layers of a neural network. These features capture complex patterns and abstractions, such as shapes, textures, or semantic concepts, depending on the depth of the layer. Deep features differ from traditional features, which are manually designed (e.g., edges or corners). Instead, they are learned automatically during training, allowing them to adapt to the specific task. For instance, in image classification, early layers might capture simple edges, while deeper layers represent high-level concepts like object parts. Applications of deep features include image retrieval, where similar images are identified based on feature similarity, and transfer learning, where pre-trained models provide feature representations for new tasks. This adaptability makes deep features a cornerstone of modern AI applications.
