Sam Witteveen and I started the TensorFlow and Deep Learning Singapore group on MeetUp in February 2017, and the thirty-second MeetUp was the second 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 outline of the use-cases for Deep Learning for vision tasks
    • Introduced two new Layers : Conv2d and MaxPool2d
    • Tantalised the group with 'Representation Learning ... Transfer Learning'
  • Sam did a Code-Along using Google Colab, where he lead the audience through :

    • Loading and preparing a dataset beyond MNIST
    • Building and Training a simple CNN model in Keras
    • Doing some analysis of the model outputs

The slides for my talk are here :
