Deep Learning in Action | How to learn an algorithm: talk by computer scientist Juergen Schmidhuber, PhD

Deep Learning in Action | A talk by Juergen Schmidhuber, PhD at the Deep Learning in Action talk series in October 2015. He is professor in computer science at the Dalle Molle Institute for Artificial Intelligence Research, part of the University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland.*

Juergen Schmidhuber, PhD | I review 3 decades of our research on both gradient based and more general problem solvers that search the space of algorithms running on general purpose computers with internal memory.

Architectures include traditional computers, Turing machines, recurrent neural networks, fast weight networks, stack machines, and others. Some of our algorithm searchers are based on algorithmic information theory and are optimal in asymptotic or other senses.

Most can learn to direct internal and external spotlights of attention. Some of them are self-referential and can even learn the learning algorithm itself, recursive self-improvement. Without a teacher, some of them can reinforcement learn to solve very deep algorithmic problems — involving billions of steps — not feasible for more recent memory based deep learners.

And algorithms learned by our long short term memory recurrent networks defined the state of the art in handwriting recognition, speech recognition, natural language processing, machine translation, image caption generation, etc. Google and other companies made them available to over a billion users.

about | The event Deep Learning in Action is organized by the Association of Computing Machinery* — Munich, Germany student chapter. The chapter advances computing as a science and profession by supporting and training the next generation. They invite distinguished speakers from academia and industry to speak at lecture halls, encouraging students to present their hacks publicly, and providing opportunities to explore latest tech with the chapter’s hackspace and the forefront of computer research with its student labs — to collaborate, define and solve tomorrow’s problems.
