Deep neural networks are a powerful method for automatically learning distributed representations at multiple levels of abstraction. Over the past decade, they have dramatically pushed forward the state-of-the-art in domains as diverse as vision, language understanding, robotics, game playing, graphics, health care, and genomics. The Deep Learning Summer School (DLSS) covers both the foundations and applications of deep neural networks, from fundamental concepts to cutting-edge research results.

Quora launched their first publicly available dataset in late January for developers to get a sense of the challenges in building a knowledge-sharing network. This exploration takes a deep learning approach to identifying duplicate questions.
