Inferno Scalable Deep Learning on Spark

Time Budget: 30 seconds Hi, my name is Matthias Langer. I am currently a PhD student at La Trobe University. Today I would like to present to you Inferno, which is a deep learning system that we develop here in Melbourne and can run on top of Spark. Time Budget: 30 seconds My talk will be structured as follows: I will talk with you a little bit about DL. … then about DL and Spark… … our own DL system …. Time Budget: 30 seconds Talking Points: So without further ado, let's start… Time Budget: 1 minute So, what is deep learning? Deep learning is machine learning algorithm that tries to extract hierarchical features from input data. In itself that is kind of similar to how the brain does it in this slide. So how does that work: Let's say a stimulus (or input) comes from the eye and eventually ends up in region V1. There primitive features like edges are extracted.
