NDR – The Artificial Intelligence Conference

Deep Learning is the buzzword of the day in IT. Fueled by the significant advancements generated by GPUs and lately by FPGAs, deep learning is on the path of becoming ubiquitous. Yet most people are unaware of the fact that the first incarnation of a neural net, the perceptron, has its 60th birthday this year. Once almost deemed as a "dead end", neural nets, represented by their most preeminent incarnation – the deep learning nets, are coming back into the public spotlight with a vengeance. Join me in this session to discover the inner workings of deep learning networks, their advantages and pitfalls, as well as their areas of applicability. I'll cover the history and evolution of the field as well as its present state of the art.
