Up to Speed on Deep Learning: June Update -- The Mission

At the end of April, we published an article on getting up to speed on deep learning, which included 20 resources to catch up on rapid advancements in the field. Much has happened since then, so we thought we'd pull together a few of the excellent resources that have emerged this month in June. As always, this list is not comprehensive, so let us know if there's something we should add, or if you're interested in discussing this area further. Facebook introduces DeepText, its deep learning engine that understands textual content on Facebook with near-human accuracy and at a speed of several thousand posts per second, in more than 20 languages.
