On Saturday, February 2nd we’re launching our 3rd cohort of deep learning learners through the Fast.ai Practical Deep Learning for Coders Part 1 course. This study group will meet weekly on Saturdays at 9 am Pacific Time for seven weeks, each week covering a new lesson from the course. We love this course for its ability to have participants building world-class deep learning models right out of the gate, without getting bogged down in theory.
You’ve likely seen some of the press coverage and discussion surrounding the release, or lack thereof, of OpenAI’s new GPT-2 Language Model. The announcement caused quite a stir, with reactions spanning confusion, frustration, concern, and many points in between.

Bits & Bytes Facebook and Google researchers build RL framework to study language evolution. Their research paper proposes a computational framework allowing agents to interact in a series of games and uses it to demonstrate that symmetric communication protocols (i.e. languages) emerge and evolve without any innate, explicit mechanisms built in the agent. Google releases synthetic speech dataset […]
We’re excited to have partnered with Microsoft to bring you the AI for the Benefit of Society series.
