Exotic Deep Learning Workshop

Note: This meetup is on the Galvanize 5th floor in the Town Hall.

About the Workshop:

In this workshop, Adam Gibson will cover an overview of the deeplearning4j framework for practical applications of deep learning. We will cover basic terminology of deep neural networks applicable to the tuning of deep learning algorithms for applications ranging from:
Anomaly detection in video (Convolutional Net -> Recurrent)Classification (Multi layer perceptron)Generative textual models of shakespeare (recurrent nets).

What' You'll Takeaway:

The goal of this meetup will be to ensure learning of what components of a neural network algortihm are common to several tasks while also ensuring we understand the tradeoffs of different architectures targeted at different applications.

The core of the content will be a stress on tools as well as live coding of the above examples. The objective for attendees will be to walk away with a fundamental understanding of how to apply neural networks to time series data as well as basic classification.

Pre-requisites:

The expected attendee should have a basic understanding of machine learning and ideally have seen some basic neural networks before.

Java experience is preferred but not required for attendees.
