What Will I Learn?

To describe what Deep Learning is in a simple yet accurate way
To explain how deep learning can be used to build predictive models
To distinguish which practical applications can benefit from deep learning
To install and use Python and Keras to build deep learning models
To apply deep learning to solve supervised and unsupervised learning problems involving images, text, sound, time series and tabular data.
To build, train and use fully connected, convolutional and recurrent neural networks
To look at the internals of a deep learning model without intimidation and with the ability to tweak its parameters
To train and run models in the cloud using a GPU
To estimate training costs for large models
To re-use pre-trained models to shortcut training time and cost (transfer learning)

Requirements

Knowledge of Python, familiarity with control flow (if/else, for loops) and pythonic constructs (functions, classes, iterables, generators)

Use of bash shell (or equivalent command prompt) and basic commands to copy and move files

Basic knowledge of linear algebra (what is a vector, what is a matrix, how to calculate dot product)

Use of ssh to connect to a cloud computer

Description

This training is designed to provide a introduction to Deep Learning using Keras. It is aimed at beginners and intermediate programmers and data scientists who are familiar with Python and want to understand and apply Deep Learning techniques to a variety of problems.

We start with a review of Deep Learning applications and a recap of Machine Learning tools and techniques. Then we introduce Artificial Neural Networks and explain how they are trained to solve Regression and Classification problems.

We introduce and explain several architectures including Fully Connected, Convolutional and Recurrent Neural Networks, and for each of these we explain both the theory and give plenty of example applications.

The goal is to provide students with a strong foundation, not just theory, not just scripting, but both. At the end of the course you’ll be able to recognize which problems can be solved with Deep Learning, you’ll be able to design and train a variety of Neural Network models and you’ll be able to use cloud computing to speed up training and improve your model’s performance.

Who is the target audience?

Software engineers who are curious about data science and about the Deep Learning buzz and want to get a better understanding of it
Data scientists who are familiar with Machine Learning and want to develop a strong foundational knowledge of deep learning

Agenda:

Machine Learning and Deep Learning Introduction

Gradient Descent

Keynote Session

"Data Science: Let's Cut the Hype & Measure its Value to Prevent a Y2k Like Fiasco" from Alo Ghosh, a professor --> advisor --> startup --> PE --> VC guy's Perspective

Talk Description:

From ‘data deluge’ to ‘deep learning’, data science has been hyped to the point that businesses across the spectrum have spent billions, spurred on mostly by ‘FOMO’, only to find very little to show for this spend. There is today widespread CXO frustration re data science. To prevent a Y2K like fiasco, the data science community must show value, not from trumped up analyst reports and pithy product demos, but by addressing their key pain points:

Data prep/munging/wrangling solutions, particularly regarding unstructured data,

REAL data science talent and its ubiquitous unavailability, despite its myriad credentials,

Expose machine learning (pattern/anomaly detection) and its celebrity child – deep learning (“the only real success of deep learning so far has been the ability to map space X to space Y using a continuous geometric transform, given large amounts of human-annotated data”) for what their minuses and pluses really are. True learning must combine data with rules.

Black boxes created by ML/DL algorithms deter their use in financial and medical worlds

And quickly moving on to demonstrate how it can add real, measurable economic value to businesses:

Strategy – Harness established tools like ‘DCF, real option and game theories’ to draw valuations of strategic alternatives and then monitor performance of the chosen strategy

Finance – Marshal internal and market data to track company valuations and risk premiums

Marketing – Track brand valuation and use dynamic pricing to capture economic surplus

Supply Chains – Emulate what Amazon does so well

Greed rather than fear will establish data science as businesses’ primary value adding spend.

Example Sessions From Prior Years

Session Proposal Process

Proposing sessions in advance on the "Session Proposals" tab is encouraged, to attract people to attend specific talks. The voting on the web gives guidance on popularity of a talk and gives the audience an idea of their 4 favorite talks. There are 4 time slots, starting on the hour, from 2:00 to 5:00. On the web, there is both a “thumbs up” and “thumbs down”. We invite audience members to keep the number of thumbs up to 4-6 (including any talks you give).

The day of the event, Saturday 10/14/2017, at 12:25, we will go through a live 30 second session proposal from the presenters in the room. Then we ask the audience for a show of hands for room sizing for the given proposal (i.e. for a room that seats 40 or 120). At the END OF LUNCH, the organizers set up the final session matrix and post it on this web site, at the top of the "Session Proposals" tab.

For a number of years, we have hosted talks presented from another country. If you are remote or in another country, make arrangements to have your talk proposed by someone in person using Skype, Webex, Zoom or your favorite screen sharing. That person would go to your session with a computer with your remote presentation setup to facilitate the microphone to the audience and to help facilitate any audience questions to the speaker.
