Discussion article for the meetup : Canberra: Deep Learning
Deep learning has been making waves: many domains of machine learning have their best results from deep learning approaches. The cynical view is that deep learning is just a new term for neural networks, and the truth is probably somewhere in between, deep learning makes use of new tricks, better hardware and more data to better train neural networks. What is certain is that neural networks have made a comeback. During the talk, I [Mayank Daswani] hope to make you aware of some basic deep learning techniques, and then show you some very cool applications. My knowledge comes primarily from the course on deep learning taught at Stanford this semester (CS224d) that I'm following along (videos, notes, assignments available online). I highly recommend checking it out.
As always, vegan snacks are provided.
General meetup info:
