Description:

What is deep learning?

It has recently exploded in popularity as a complex and incredibly powerful tool. This talk will present the basic concepts underlying deep learning for complete beginners. We will review the basic fundamentals of it and code up a simple neural network in Keras. Keras is a high-level neural networks API, written in Python and capable of running on top of TensorFlow which allows easy and fast prototyping of a problem. The talk will be structured as below:

1. What is deep learning?
2. Why should I care and learn it?
3. What is a neural network?
4. A simple example
5. Predictions with our neural network and results.

Prerequisites:

• Python programming fundamentals.
• Basic knowledge of keras and tensor flow (completely optional as will be covered in the talk).
