Steve Conway from Hyperion Research
In this video from the HPC User Forum in Tucson, Steve Conway from Hyperion Research presents: The Need for Deep Learning Transparency.
“We humans don’t fully understand how humans think. When it comes to deep learning, humans also don’t understand yet how computers think. That’s a big problem when we’re entrusting our lives to self-driving vehicles or to computers that diagnose serious diseases, or to computers installed to protect national security. We need to find a way to make these “black box” computers transparent.”
