Presentation Abstract: Neural networks have, over the last decade or so, gotten incredibly popular at solving large, real world learning progblems, for cases where large datasets are available. Now they are called deep learning, but they still use many techniquest that were developed much earlier. Dr. Kording will review current technologies. He will also discuss how ideas in the field relate to neuroscience.
