fast.ai · Making neural nets uncool again

From the time of our very first deep learning course at the USF Data Institute (which was recorded and formed the basis of our MOOC), we have allowed selected students that could not participate in person to attend via video and text chat through our International Fellowship. We want to get deep learning into the hands of as many people as possible, from as many diverse backgrounds as possible. People with different backgrounds have different problems they're interested in solving. We have seen and experienced some of the obstacles facing outsiders: inequality, discrimination, and lack of access. We've also observed that the field of artificial intelligence is missing out because of its lack of diversity.
