An Introduction to deep learning

Series
Theoretical Physics - From Outer Space to Plasma
Video Embed
Professor Ard Louis gives a basic introduction to deep learning for physicists and addresses a few questions such as: Is the hype around deep learning justified, or are we about to hit some fundamental limitations?
In less than ten years, machine learning techniques based on deep neural networks have moved from relative obscurity to central stage in the AI industry. Large firms such as Google and Facebook are pouring billions into research and development of these new technologies. The use of deep learning in physics is also growing exponentially. Can physics help us understand why deep learning works so well? And conversely: How can deep learning provide new insight into the world around us?
