26 Things I Learned in the Deep Learning Summer School

This article was originally published at marekrei.com In the beginning of August, I got the chance to attend the Deep Learning Summer School in Montreal. It consisted of 10 days of talks from some of the most well-known neural network researchers. During this time I learned a lot, way more than I could ever fit into a blog post. Instead of trying to pass on 60 hours worth of neural network knowledge, I have made a list of small interesting nuggets of information that I was able to summarise in a paragraph. At the moment of writing, the summer school website is still online, along with all the presentation slides.
