Tutorial: Deep Learning with TensorFlow and Guild AI
Tutorial objectives:
The field of Artificial Intelligence has made amazing strides over the last few years. The driving force behind its success is Deep Learning, an approach to machines intelligence that uses complex multi-layer neural networks.
In this workshop we'll explore deep learning using TensorFlow, Google's recently released library for numerical computations. We'll also use Guild AI, an open source tool that supports collaboration on deep learning experiments.
