Deep Learning the technology that underpins Watson

Welcome to our first meetup with cognitive computing.

Starting 17.30 with refreshments , ending with Pizza and networking

Deep Learning is the most successful field in modern AI. Deep learning is the technology that underpins Watson. Every industry is now looking to include AI in its processes. New frameworks like Tensorflow or Caffe and new hardware like GPUs or FPGA are now provided by the large cloud providers and are making Deep Learning accessible outside the research centers. This talk will introduce the Deep Learning technologies and will illustrate the theory with demos using Python and Tensorflow.

Agenda:

Deep learning basics (Perceptron, multi-layer neural networks, back-propagation )

Convolutional neural network (CNN) for image recognition

Recurrent neural network (RNN, LSTM) for language understanding

Lots of examples and demos

Refreshments , Pizza and networking
