THE AI & DEEP LEARNING PARADOX

Understanding Deep Learning - Prof. SIMON PRINCE [STAFF FAVOURITE] Watch behind the scenes, get early access and join private Discord by supporting us on Patreon: In this comprehensive exploration of the field of deep learning with Professor Simon Prince who has just authored an entire text book on Deep Learning, we investigate the technical underpinnings that contribute to the field’s unexpected success and confront the enduring conundrums that still perplex AI researchers. Key points discussed include the surprising efficiency of deep learning models, where high-dimensional loss functions are optimized in ways which defy traditional statistical expectations. Professor Prince provides an exposition on the choice of activation functions, architecture design considerations, and overparameterization. We scrutinize the generalization capabilities of neural networks, addressing the seeming pa
