Flying Cars, Bat Translation, Video Generation & More
The latest in deep learning & autonomous vehicles
Why Google Co-Founder Larry Page Is Pouring Millions into Flying Cars
A great read. Arguably flying cars will have a more transformational worldwide impact than self-driving cars.
Deep Learning & Self-Driving Cars Facebook Group
This group is an experiment to see if Facebook can be a good place for discussion of papers, articles and more in deep learning and self-driving cars. Join us!
The Alien Style of Deep Learning Generative Design
What happens when you have Deep Learning begin to generate your mechanical designs?
Hardware Guide: Neural Networks on GPUs
Getting the absolute best out of deep learning requires crazy hardware. This guide walks you through building a machine with 4 NVIDIA Titan X GPUs, for a total cost of $5400.
Deep Learning AI Listens to Machines For Signs of Trouble
A nice write-up of a startup using deep learning to think more preventively about machine health. Ex: understanding the patterns of what makes cars break down.
Bat Chat: Machine Learning Algorithms Provide Translations for Bat Squeaks
Researchers studying Egyptian fruit bats say they have found a way to work out who is arguing with whom, what they are squabbling about and can even predict the outcome of a disagreement — all from the bats’ calls and machine learning.
TensorFlow For Poets
A fantastic 8-step walkthrough from Google on transfer learning.
Mining 24 Hours a Day with Robots
Mining companies are rolling out autonomous trucks, drills, and trains, which will boost efficiency but also reduce the need for human employees.
A Friendly Introduction to Deep Learning and Neural Networks
A great 30-minute intro from a Udacity instructor to the world of deep learning. Something to forward to family and friends!
Generating Videos with Scene Dynamics
A fascinating paper from MIT researchers using GANs to produce animated videos from static photos.
