Abstract |
Object recognition, text analysis, trend prediction, sentiment analysis, even playing computer games: deep-learning seems to be
a big leap forward in the field of AI. At least Google and Facebook pay quite some money to acquire companies that do deep-learning.
Or is it just a hype reviving well-known algorithms by faster machines? Artificial neural networks exist for a long time.
The goal of this WAI presentation :
- an overview of the field and a bit of theoretical background, and some software to play with,
- ethical consequences of smart software
- a discussion on the use of DeepLearning algorithms in our research domain (e.g. can we learn the Semantic Web?) |
