What do I need to do deep learning?

Converging Forces Make Deep Learning Possible The Trifecta

•  The Data •  The Hardware •  The Algorithms

#deeplearningseries

We need tons of data

Data

The Challenge:

The Solution: The Internet Data

Quantity of information &

Quality of information

#deeplearningseries

The Challenge:

Hardware

We want to process raw data… but that takes

massive computing power. #deeplearningseries

Go Big or Go Small, It’s Your Call

The Solutions: Cloud Computing & GPUs Hardware

#deeplearningseries

#deeplearningseries

The Algorithms The Challenge: Work Smarter, Not Just Harder

#deeplearningseries

The Algorithms The Solution: No Magic Bullet

• Architecture • Regularization • Adaptive learning • Optimized distributed computing • Hyperparameter tuning • Diagnostics • … and much more… • … and, whatever comes out tomorrow!
