Vienna Deep Learning Meetup

Deep Learning is the main driver behind a new era of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that has been emerging around 2010, and is a big & still growing trend in data analysis and prediction. From tech giants to small and medium startups, many companies have shown tremendous success both in research and applications of Deep Learning, pushing entire fields such as speech or object recognition as well as generating text, images, audio or video to the next level.

The list of application domains is literally endless.

Although rooted in Neural Network research already in the 1950's, the current trend in Deep Learning is unstoppable, and new approaches and improvements are presented almost every month.
We would like to meet and discuss the latest trends in Deep Learning, Neural Networks and Machine Learning,  and reflect the latest developments, both in industry and in research.

The Vienna Deep Learning meetup is positioned at the cross-over of research to industry - having both a focus on novel methods that are published in such a fast pace, and interesting new applications in the startup and industry world.

Note that this meetup has an intermediate to advanced level (we have done introductions to Deep Learning and neural networks only in the beginning, but try to repeat the most important concepts regularly).

We usually have 2 speakers from either academia, startups or industry, complemented by a "latest news and hot topics" section. Occasionally we do tutorials about software frameworks and how to use Deep Learning in practice. Each evening ends with networking & discussions over drinks and snacks.
