Systems for Deep Learning: A View from the Trenches
Details
Speaker: Bryan Catanzaro is a Senior Researcher at Baidu (http://www.baidu.com/), working with Adam Coates and Andrew Ng to create next generation systems for deep learning.
He earned his CS PhD from Berkeley (http://www.berkeley.edu/), under the direction of Kurt Keutzer (http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/~keutzer), where he built the Copperhead (http://code.google.com/p/copperhead) language and compiler, which allows Python programmers to use nested data parallel abstractions and gain high efficiency on contemporary parallel platforms. He earned his MS and BS from Brigham Young University (http://www.byu.edu/), where he worked with Brent Nelson (http://ece.byu.edu/faculty/brent_nelson) on higher radix floating-point representations for FPGAs.
