Chapter 8: Optimization for Training Deep Models

This week we'll discuss Chapter 8: Optimization for Training Deep Models.

I am very very excited about our presenter! Discussion will be lead by Vazgen Hakobjanyan and Hrayr Harutyunyan. Vazgen is a board memeber of YerevaNN (http://yerevann.com/) research lab and Hrayr is a research engineer there currently collaborating with USC. These guys are seriously rad! Check out this recent paper https://arxiv.org/abs/1703.07771

Their DL Guide is ranked #1 by Google because it is flipping amazing- and you should check it out! http://yerevann.com/a-guide-to-deep-learning/
