Up to Speed on Deep Learning: July Update – The Mission

The project combines the power of both memorization and generalization, to better reflect the properties that make the human brain such an effective learning machine. They provide an in-depth example that illustrates the project's purpose and potential via a fictional food delivery app. The Harvard NLP and Visual Computing groups announce LSTMVis, a visual analysis tool for recurrent neural networks (RNNs). RNNs learn a black-box hidden state representation, and changes in these representations are challenging to study. The tool makes it easier to visually observe and isolate patterns in state changes.
