Hello Deep Learning

Deep learning is a hot and fascinating research area, particularly when applied to classifying images. While researching the Fast Forward Labs Deep Learning: Image Analysis report, we played with a lot of very cool technology. In this blog post, we offer a guide to getting started with deep learning by using APIs from some of the most interesting deep-learning-as-a-service startups. These APIs accept images and/or video, and quickly classify objects, ideas, and items shown in the images and video. We used this capability to build pictograph.us, We have many ideas for other applications, and wanted share some tips and code to help you get started working in this field as well.
