DeepLearning.TV:

DeepLearning.TV is all about Deep Learning, the field of study that teaches machines to perceive the world. Starting with a series that simplifies Deep Learning, DeepLearning.TV features topics such as How To’s, reviews of software libraries and applications, and interviews with key individuals in the field. Through a series of concept videos showcasing the intuition behind every Deep Learning method, we will show you that Deep Learning is actually simpler than you think. Our goal is to improve your understanding of the topic so that you can better utilize Deep Learning in your own projects. We hope to provide a window into the cutting edge of Deep Learning and bring you up to speed on what’s currently happening in the field.
