Intro to Deep Learning with Theano and Open Deep by Markus Beissinger

Deep learning currently provides stateoftheart performance in computer vision, natural language processing, and many other machine learning tasks. In this talk, we will learn when deep learning is useful (and when it isn t ), how to implement some simple neural networks in Python using Theano, and how to build more powerful systems using the OpenDeep package. Our first model will be the hello world of deep learning the multilayer perceptron. This model generalizes logistic regression as your typical
