Understanding DL I

Please join us for meeting #39 where we'll start a series on understanding Deep Learning with discussion of two papers:

Why does deep and cheap learning work so well?
by Henry W. Lin, Max Tegmark
https://arxiv.org/abs/1608.08225

Exact solutions to the nonlinear dynamics of learning in deep linear neural networks, by Andrew M. Saxe, James L. McClelland, Surya Ganguli
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1312.6120.pdf

Please read the papers before the meetup, but if you don't get a chance, feel free to come join the discussion anyway.

Past papers are listed in the message board here (https://www.meetup.com/Silicon-Valley-Data-Science-Journal-Club/messages/boards/thread/40111312).

Post new paper suggestions here (https://www.meetup.com/Silicon-Valley-Data-Science-Journal-Club/messages/boards/thread/40111062).

Many thanks to Mike Rinehart for his stellar leadership over the last two years!
