Chapter 9: Convolutional Networks

This week we'll discuss Chapter 9: CNNs

6:30pm Chapter will be presented by Louis Monier. I can't begin telling you how excited I am to have him lead this discussion! He is an industry veteran and if you do not know about his many achievements you should google him :) Currently he is leading Airbnb AI Lab. But most importantly he is a wonderful educator with passion for demystifying AI! Checkout his Deep learning workshop series on Holberton School's youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aL9fiZhokxg (you can fork their repo and follow along!)

8pm Q&A with Christian Szegedy (https://research.google.com/pubs/ChristianSzegedy.html) staff research scientist at Google Research (many thanks to Cosmin for making this Q&A happen). Some of Christian's research papers:

Going deeper with convolutions - the inception architecture

Batch normalization: Accelerating deep network training by reducing internal covariate shift

Intriguing properties of neural networks (initiated the current wave in research into adversarial examples for ML algorithms)
