*Speaker:* Oswald Campesato

*Talk Description*
A fast-paced introduction to Deep Learning concepts, such as activation
functions, cost functions, back propagation, and then a quick dive into
CNNs. Basic knowledge of vectors, matrices, and derivatives is helpful in
order to derive the maximum benefit from this session. Then we'll see a
short introduction to TensorFlow and TensorBoard. (Bonus points if you know
Zorn's Lemma, the Well-Ordering Theorem, and the Axiom of Choice.)
