The Decade of Deep Learning; AI Experts’ Hopes for 2020; AI Beats Doctors at Cancer Diagnosis?
The Decade of Deep Learning
This post is an overview of some the most influential Deep Learning papers of the last decade. The author hopes to provide a jumping-off point into many disparate areas of Deep Learning by providing succinct and dense summaries that go slightly deeper than a surface level exposition, with many references to the relevant resources.

Google Just Beat Humans at Spotting Breast Cancer — But It Won’t Replace Them
Google is developing artificial intelligence to help doctors identify breast cancer. The model, which scans X-ray images known as mammograms, reduces the number of false negatives by 9.4 percent — a hopeful leap forward for a test that currently misses 20 percent of breast cancers.

Learning by Cheating
Vision-based urban driving is hard. The autonomous system needs to learn to perceive the world and act in it. Researchers show that this challenging learning problem can be simplified by decomposing it into two stages.

Deep Sparse Rectifier Neural Networks
This paper shows that rectifying neurons are an even better model of biological neurons and yield equal or better performance than hyperbolic tangent networks in spite of the hard non-linearity and non-differentiability at zero, creating sparse representations with true zeros, which seem remarkably suitable for naturally sparse data.
