I went to a talk by Yann LeCun [1] a few months back, "Learning Feature Hierarchies for Vision." The current state of the art in this field is mind-blowing to an outsider. The final demo was a program that he trained in a matter of seconds to recognize and distinguish faces of various random audience members, in real time, from different viewing angles.

- _delirium 15y agoIs any of that software available?
- sigil 15y agoSome of the libraries are [1]. Probably not the whole kit and caboodle. Interestingly, there was a focus on special purpose hardware that made convolutional network learning possible in realtime. One of the other demos was an autonomous driving robot that learned to recognize obstacles in video. Again, just mind-blowing.
