Deep Learning Theory and Applications Reading group

Summer 2018

Hi!

Welcome to our reading group. Please join us this summer to understand and learn about deep learning from a researcher’s point of view. We will mainly be doing book readings and will occasionally have guest lectures. We will also be updating ourselves with the latest research from the deep-learning community.

We are first planning to finish the book by Ian Goodfellow, deeplearningbook and and then move to Matrix Computation book in August.

We alternate our discussions between Slack and the google forums.

All are welcome

Time and Location

We meet Tuesdays and Fridays from 4:30 pm to 5:30 pm in MSC Conference room 4th floor.
