Content:
Our brain is a complex machine. Based on the input it receives via our senses, our brain is able to understand the world around us. Understanding the world used to be a very hard problem for computers. This has changed drastically in the last decades. Deep learning makes it possible to let computers achieve certain task which used to be very hard, such as creating self-driving cars.

Deep learning was inspired by the way in which our brains work. By creating digital neural networks, computers are able to analyze complex inputs and form decisions based upon this input. 

During this talk, I will guide you through the theory behind deep learning, I will show you how we put this into practice, and I will discuss cutting-edge developments in deep learning.
