Deep learning is more than just a buzzword, it’s the state of the art. The power of deep learning enables fraud detection, speech recognition, self-driving cars and more. And using Python alongside libraries such as TensorFlow, Keras and PyTorch, this power is available to you .. today! This session will cover the concepts of deep learning and neural networks. It will also examine several common use cases including convolutional neural networks and recurrent neural networks. And the best part, this can be done with little math! Deep learning is already impacting everyone’s lives, and will continue to have a greater impact. Leveraging it will be an essential skills for software engineers and technology professionals.

This session was presented 5 times in 2019: twice as a workshop - at PyTennessee in February and Music City Tech in September - and 3 as a lecture - at Indy.Code in April, Codepalousa in August and Scenic City Summit in October. It is among my most popular topics.
