Objectives

After a quick introduction in order to familiarise ourselves with some of basic notions of deep neural nets, we will read and discuss a sequence of fairly recent papers. Our emphasis will be on papers that explain why deep neural networks work rather than on papers that apply neural nets to various problems. If you have suggestions what to read, please mail Jean. Also, if you are willing to present one of the papers, we are always looking for volunteers.
