Abstract:

Wondering about deep-learning?
Why is it so good?
Why are people so enthusiastic about it?
How do I deploy deep learning applications?

If you are interested in any of these questions, this meetup is for you. We will

• explain why deep-learning is a serious contender to solve most of today's data-science problems,
• browse through the different frameworks for deep-learning, and focus on Tensor-Flow
• explore Tensor-Flow's main underpinning concepts and apply them to toy projects and
• discuss a recommended structure for tensor flow projects

We assume that participants are:

• familiar with data-science
• already familiar with the basics of neural networks and back-propagation
• star-wars fanatic (optional)
• beer enthusiast (optional)
• friendly and sociable (very much required!)
