Summary
Learn what deep learning is, why it’s important, and how to get started.
Abstract
Over the past few years, a series of machine learning breakthroughs have led to significant increases in AI capabilities. This has led to several amazing technologies, like machines that can drive cars, detect emotions, and diagnose diseases. These advances are largely the result of deep-learning algorithms like deep neural networks.
In this session, we’ll learn what deep learning is and why it is so important to the future of the software industry. We’ll learn about the current capabilities of deep-learning systems and their predicted future capabilities. In addition, we’ll learn about the tools that allow us to create deep-learning models like TensorFlow, Torch, and the Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit.
