Six Months Later, France has Formulated their Deep Learning Strategy

Six months ago, I wrote that "The West is Unaware of the Deep Learning Sputnik moment". It turns out mathematician Cedric Villani began a 6 month journey to learn all that needs to be learned about Deep Learning. He is the author of a report that France will use to drive their future Deep Learning strategy. Villani's report is titled "For a Meaningful Artificial Intelligence: Towards a French and European Strategy". Although Villani uses the term "Artificial Intelligence" to appeal to a much wider audience, he is actually responding to the "particular" developments of Deep Learning.
