Problem

Top barrier to AI Adoption
Attracting, Acquiring and developing the right AI talent

Right AI talent needs to have following skills:

Deep Learning Concepts
Python Programming
Data libraries like OpenCV, Pandas etc.
DL Frameworks: TensorFlow, Keras, MxNet etc.

Solution

AI Development Tools
(available today)

AI Marketplace
(coming soon)

Deep Learning Studio (DLS)

Deep Learning Concepts:

Python Programming
Data libraries like OpenCV, Pandas etc.
DL Frameworks: TensorFlow, Keras, MxNet etc.

No programming or DL knowledge
Reconfigure and retrain vertical focused AI Apps.
Only needs basic knowledge of data

Solution – AI Development Tools

Drag and Drop AI IDE
And Jupyter Notebook
(Available today)

Preconfigured and optimized container environment for different AI frameworks (coming soon)

About me

Intelligence

Intelligence & AI

What is Intelligence?

Ability to accomplish complex goals.

Lex Fridman - MIT.

Favio Vázquez

We need more than Intelligence.

We need understanding.

We need modeling.

Intelligence & AI

What is Understanding?

Ability to turn complex information into simple, useful information.

Lex Fridman - MIT.

Intelligence & AI

How long for us to be intelligent?

This only took 3.800.000.000 years

Favio Vázquez

And we want this to happen in 5 years...

Prophesy of AI

Favio Vázquez

The deep in deep learning isn’t a reference to any kind of deeper understanding achieved by the approach; rather, it stands for this idea of successive layers of representations.

Deep Learning

Favio Vázquez

Learning, in the context of machine learning, describes an automatic search process for better representations.

Deep Learning

Favio Vázquez

Deep Learning

Deep learning is a specific subfield of machine learning, a new take on learning representations from data which puts an emphasis on learning successive “layers” of increasingly meaningful representations.

What is it then??

Favio Vázquez

Artificial Neural Networks

Never say that Deep Learning is just Neural Networks that works like our brain.

Weird things about Deep Learning

Favio Vázquez

Deep Learning

Normally you have to wait for sometime (sometime years) to be able to digest difficult and advance information in papers or research journals.

Favio Vázquez

Deep Learning is not all about Neural Networks

Favio Vázquez

Back Propagation

Favio Vázquez

Better initialization of the parameters of the nets.

This course will teach you the "magic" of getting deep learning to work well. Rather than the deep learning process being a black box, you will understand what drives performance, and be able to more systematically get good results.
