What are the best resources to learn about deep learning? - Quora

Neural networks and deep learning is a great website that goes step by step into neural network architectures, loss functions used etc. It should be very easy to read if you have a bit of math background. CS231N lecture notes from here: CS231n Convolutional Neural Networks for Visual Recognition (notes), and CS231n: Convolutional Neural Networks for Visual Recognition (lecture slides) Once you are familiar with the basics and the terminology (which is not much I should say), you can read tutorials of deep learning software such as Caffe (Caffe Deep Learning Framework, read through the Example section), and Theano (Deep Learning Tutorials). If you are feeling adventurous, you can also look through the proceedings and submitted papers for conferences such as ICLR and NIPS. Deep learning being a fast growing area, once you understand the basics it should not be much of an effort to understand what is being talked about in most of the papers.
