Deep learning has enabled major breakthroughs in the fields of computer vision, speech recognition, and control systems. These breakthroughs have enabled a host of commercial applications. In our first webinar of the Deep Learning Webinar Series, we will discuss the following questions:

  • Can deep learning revolutionize scientific applications?
  • Can deep learning effectively process scientific data?
  • What are the similarities and differences between commercial and scientific applications?

We will explore the answers to these questions through a range of use cases spanning astronomy, cosmology, climate, neuroscience, and nuclear and particle physics.

Attendance is limited to 500; please connect to the webinar early to guarantee a spot.
