Sam Witteveen and I started the TensorFlow and Deep Learning Singapore group on MeetUp in February 2017, and the thirty-first MeetUp was the first in a three-part series aimed at getting total beginners up to speed, so that we can resume our regular MeetUp series.

Our presentation was in two parts:

  • My initial talk, that :

    • Gave a brief overview of what is meant by "AI" as marketing term
    • Outlined the differences between Programming vs Machine Learning vs Deep Learning
      • with hand-waving
    • Illustrated what an MLP can learn using TensorFlow Playground
  • Sam did a Code-Along using Google Colab, where he lead the audience through :

    • Basic usage of Colab
    • Tensor shapes
    • Loading and preparing data
    • Building and Training a simple MLP model in Keras

The slides for my talk are here :
