Re-architecting or retraining legacy models that have degraded in accuracy.

The most basic architecture: data moves in one direction, from input to output, through fully connected layers. Feedforward networks work well for structured or tabular data and simple classification or regression tasks where spatial or sequential relationships don't matter. They're often used as a baseline before moving to more specialized architectures.

CNNs are designed for grid-like data, most commonly images. They use convolution operations — small filters that slide across an image to detect local patterns like edges and textures — and pooling layers that reduce spatial dimensions while preserving important features. Stacked convolutional layers build up from simple textures to complex shapes and objects. CNNs are the backbone of image classification, object detection, and image segmentation, and remain a strong choice whenever the data has a clear spatial structure.

RNNs are built for sequential data — where the order of inputs matters, such as time series or text. They maintain a hidden state that carries information from earlier steps in the sequence forward to later ones, allowing the network to model dependencies over time. RNNs were historically central to sequence modeling in NLP and time-series forecasting, though many of their use cases have shifted toward transformer-based architectures in recent years.

Standard RNNs struggle to retain information across long sequences — a problem known as the vanishing gradient problem. Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) networks address this with gating mechanisms that control what information is retained or discarded at each step. This makes them better suited to tasks with long-term dependencies, such as language modeling, time-series forecasting with long histories, and sequential sensor data.

An autoencoder learns to compress input data into a compact latent representation (via an encoder) and then reconstruct the original input from that representation (via a decoder). Because the network is forced to find the most informative compressed form of the data, autoencoders are useful for dimensionality reduction, anomaly detection (data that reconstructs poorly is likely anomalous), and general representation learning.

Generative Adversarial Networks pit two networks against each other: a generator that creates synthetic data, and a discriminator that tries to distinguish real data from generated data. Through this adversarial training process, the generator improves until it can produce highly realistic synthetic output. GANs are widely used for image generation, data augmentation, and synthetic data creation when real data is scarce or sensitive.

Transformers process entire sequences at once rather than step by step, using an attention mechanism — specifically self-attention — to weigh the relevance of every part of the input to every other part. Pioneered by Google AI / Google Research, this allows transformers to capture long-range relationships more effectively than RNNs, while also enabling far greater parallelization during training. Transformers underpin most modern NLP models, many current computer vision models (Vision Transformers), and multimodal systems.

Media companies use it for automated transcription and captioning. Financial services use it for voice-based fraud signal detection alongside other verification methods.

Fine-tuning is the process of continuing to train that pre-trained model on your specific dataset so it specializes in your domain. Domain adaptation extends this further — adjusting a model trained in one domain (e.g., general product images) to perform well in a related but distinct domain (e.g., images from a specific factory floor with different lighting and camera angles).

For large pre-trained models, parameter-efficient fine-tuning techniques can adapt a model by updating only a small subset of its parameters, reducing compute cost while preserving most of the original model's general knowledge.

In practice, most commercial deep learning projects start with transfer learning and fine-tuning, and only move to training from scratch when the problem is sufficiently novel or the required accuracy can't be reached otherwise.
