In recent months, Artificial Intelligence has become the hottest topic in the IT industry.
In this session, we’ll explain how Deep Learning — a subset of AI — differs from traditional Machine Learning and how it can help you solve complex problems such as computer vision or natural language processing.
Then, using Python code, we’ll show how to start writing applications using Mxnet, a popular library for Deep Learning which support both CPUs and GPUs.
Finally, we’ll demonstrate how you can achieve excellent results quickly by using state-of-the-art pre-trained models.
