Deep learning neural networks have become a prominent tool in science and machine learning. This webinar will provide a short overview of the main concepts of neural networks and feature discovery. We will also demonstrate the basic convolution neural network for digit recognition using tensorflow and try to get an intuition about how the network performs and what defines deep learning in practice. We will also review some useful notes on running deep networks on Expanse, such as using tensorboard, notebooks, and batch jobs.
