Deep Learning with Neural Networks

Deep learning architectures are built using multiple levels of non-linear aggregators, for instance neural nets with many hidden layers. In this introductory talk Will Stanton discusses the motivations and principles regarding learning algorithms for deep architectures. Bill provides a primer to neural networks, and deep Learning. He explains how Deep Learning gives some of the best-ever solutions to problems…
