A QUT Guest Lecture by Jeremy Howard and Rachel Thomas
Deep Learning lies at the heart of nearly all major advances in the last 10 years of artificial intelligence (AI). Google's CEO says AI is more profound than electricity and fire. But in Australia, it's common to hear refrains that deep learning is overhyped -- just another in a long list of tech fads that will flame out soon. We'll explain why deep learning is far from overhyped, and show that actually, very few people realize just how accessible, flexible, and powerful it really is.
