Deep Learning in Hardware

JahanzebAhmad and SunandoSengupta, Intel Programmable Solutions Group

Thursday 22 Nov 2018 - 19.00 for 19.30

Deep Learning has revolutionised machine learning research with its
ground-breaking success in the field of computer vision over last 5
years. It has led to unparalleled success in visual scene
understanding tasks like image recognition, object detection, semantic
image segmentation, face detection and recognition, and human pose
analysis. Deep learning has exceeded human performance in some of
these areas. This has resulted in significant interest to apply deep
learning-based solutions in hardware for robust and efficient
real-life usage.

In this talk we will give an overview of deep learning and then focus
specifically towards FPGA-accelerated deep learning solutions.
Finally, we will conclude with some real-world examples of deep
learning accelerated through FPGAs.
