Abstract:
Deep learning is the leading approach to many problems in computer vision, speech recognition, NLP, and other areas. In this presentation, I will give a broad overview of deep learning. I will discuss the key reasons for its success, and the important role that scalability plays. I will also describe unsupervised learning approaches to deep learning--such as the "Google cat" result, in which a neural network learned to recognize cats by watching unlabeled YouTube videos--and discuss why this might become increasingly important. Finally, I will discuss recent trends in deep learning, and some possible future applications.
Biography:
Andrew Ng is Chief Scientist of Baidu; Chairman and Co-founder of Coursera; and an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University. In 2011 he led the development of Stanford University’s main MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses) platform and also taught an online Machine Learning class to over 100,000 students, leading to the founding of Coursera. Ng’s goal is to give everyone access to a great education, for free. Today, Coursera partners with top universities to offer online courses. With over 9 million students, it is the world's largest MOOC platform. Ng also works on machine learning, with an emphasis on deep learning. He had founded and led the “Google Brain” project, which developed massive-scale deep learning algorithms. This resulted in the “cat” result, in which a massive neural network with 1 billion parameters learned from unlabeled YouTube videos to detect cats. More recently, he is working to build up Baidu Research, which is developing applications of large scale deep learning to computer vision, speech, NLP, and other areas. Recent awards include being named to the Time 100 list of the most influential people in the world; Fortune 40 under 40; and being named by students as one of the top 10 professors across Stanford University.

iquely best for youth? A When some of a course's 9 minute audio training modules viralise around millions of youth who then collaborate round job creation- or progressing investments in millennium goals from the bottom up
-see eg MOOCyunus as several thousand entrepreneurs at Skoll 10th world championship cheering such an idea
reference- search how both daphne koller as designer of coursera and sal khan as designer of khanacademy see the 9 minute training module as the most impactful feature the world of education has ever been blessed to use
1.1 coursera has many features that may help to start up such a viralisation- also the fact that several hundreds of thousand people may be action learning live around a best for world's coursera makes these feature possibilities very different from uses you may heave encountered where barely any audience is coming back again and again
2.0 students of coursera are asked to sign a content secrecy pledge so as not to spoil the course's surprise impact on future course-takers - regarding open value multipliers, this is a relative weakness of coursera compared with khanacademy's 24/7 free learning access but it does help to ensure that you get that year's most motivated youth signing up-
2.1 Secrecy pledges also make it difficult to discuss what a best for youth coursera looks like - we hope that Jeff Borland at University of Melbourne doesn't mind us showing this mock up

Curriculum is first to be hosted by alumni of Soros http://www.ineteconomics.org - promises to fit with total rethink of economics from ground-up. Specific announcementhttp://ineteconomics.org/blog/institute/free-course-economics-money-and-banking-produced-institute-new-economic-thinking
Host of this curriculum Perry Mehrling is author of The New Lombard Street - a title that refers to Lombard Street by Walter Bagehot - in many insiders view the greatest economist ever to edit The Economist. Of course, greatest is a system value design judgement. Back In 1843 the purpose and values of The Economist were defined as mediating leading decision-makers of The Industrial revolution with the goals of ending hunger and ending capital abuse of youth. Pro=youth economics curriculum linked to 170 years of knowledge sharing at The Economist are at http://normanmacrae.ning.com/forum/topics/can-you-help-with-the-book-on-curriculum-of-entrepreneurial revolution
Start of Mehrling speech at George Soros hosted event on the crisis
George Soros with his super bubble hypothesis has perhaps the most expansive sense of what has ended but his analysis is of but a piece
As a historian of monetary and financial economics, I recognise this entire line of commentary as continuous with the great tradition of British central banking thought going back at least to Watler Bagehot's Lombard Street. In this regard, I would note Ralph Hawtry's emphasis on the inherent instability of credit - a phrase he used to emphasise the weakness of self-regulatory forces in the money market and the consequent need for active central bank management . Today's new twist is the suggestion that central banks have become part fo the problem by helping inflate bubbles: by keeping interest rates too low and then by preventing the subsequent collapse from claaring out the bad credit so that each subsequent bubble gets built on shakier financial foundations than the previous one. In this talk I would like to observe mistaken monetary theory- the problem I suggest is that central bankers have been listening too much to academics rather than their own rather different intellectual tradition.. I will refer to this indigenous practitioners intellectual tradition as The Money View to distinguish it for the academic economics view and the academic finance view both of which determinedly abstract from the monetary plumbing behind the wall in order to focus on other matters ,,, more athttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYkGUBgxDOM
There is a widespread sense that the crisis of the last 2 years marks the end of one era and the beginning of another even though there remains debate about what exactly has ended and even more about what will replace it. http://normanmacrae.ning.com/forum/topics/wiki-of-first-mooc-by-alumn-of-soros-inetecononics-org/

t go if sustainability is to be the 21st century
my feeling is west coast megaplayers of internet are not going to lead this but we still need to bridge with google- the job creating educators i have so far found/trust most come from bangladesh, india, japan, china, south africa, kenya .. and MIT as the one main western hub (more specifically google africa's strategy is led by the kenyan lady who invented ushahidi a great use of it and she is now in s africa linked into mandela-branson-blecher-free university models which are as exciting as anything that the world of education has to offer in 40 years of searching -when you bridge kenya and bangladesh you get the world's most exciting village labs of cashless banking -someone could remind obama that one parent came from kenya and the other replicated bangladeshi microcredit as it used to exist in 80s in indonesia- if anyone was parented to value bottom up usaid it was he- moreover the most exciting curriculum for pre-teen financial literacy was invented in an indian orphanage. has been transfreered to 90 countries with BRAC the number 1 instructor)
friends of The Economist's Norman Macrae, world class brands experts and I i see facebook as the net generation's number 1 enemy of media and education getting smarter as i believe it is all about mass media taking over - dumbing down - what my family's life work has argued could be the way the net generation could be free to be 10 times more productive by escaping all the command and control spin of mass media
i also assembling the peer to peer content of smart curriculum as the most urgent race now that MOOCS are popping up everywhere http://youth10000education.blogspot.com planetMOOC.com- my friends including some of those cc'd are searching the world for whom to invite first to assemblemicroeducationsummit - what methods bring job creation back to the whole education chain and also invest in youth co-producing the most exciting goals collaboration and smart media could facilitate
there's a catch 22 to those of us who want to linking job-designed apps but are not tecchies - there are so many tech tools where I wish there was one hi-trust portal showing how ordinary non-tech people can make best job creating or collaboration use of the tool in the opposite way of being commanded and controlled that most ad-led media does- if only there was one portal where eg best cases of how to were edited by and for all of us who need to learn how to create jobs with new media- ultimately i believe we have to get the right sorts of people and peer networks converging on microeducationsummit before we will see how to start such a portal and keep mooc design -and so the most economical of education systems - open for job creation
to see where education could have got to if wealthier nations educators had enjoyed The Economists' first 40 years of entrepreneurial revolution dialogues - see the new zealand movement www.thelearningweb.net which has co-partnered with 10 million chinese parents -also see paper from the inaugural adma smith scholars edited journal of social business,

notes on how to save world with 12 minute presentations... open education offers millions the chance to action learn a course on job creating - 12 minute presentaions are the molecular content at MOOCS such as coursera - the race is one to viralise the first course to reach a billion youth with job creating ideas that are more sustainable than durgs dealing or street violence

tive and sustainable age but only if we (peoples, parents, all our social insttitutions, teachers, chnages to media, open sustem professionals) go back to the drawing board on learning learning. A lot of fancy terms have been created in last quarter centiry - eg knowledge manahgement- that turn out to be the exact opposite of what entrepreneurial revolutionaries need to champion round maps of learning learning if we are to celebrate the millennium of a millions tome more collaboration technology
In researchging MOOC - only those who get the 9 minute training module as the molecule round which to integrate futires of learning and job creation are worth linking in to first. We aim to make that case in other documents
In this thread we put some quotes from people we wish we could link in now to learning learning because we need all the inspiration we can get to linkin this greatest entrepreneurial and sustainability challenge of all time

KERRY GLASGOWIS HUMANITY'S LAST BEST CHANCE - Join search for Sustainaabilty's Curricula
101ways-generation.docx 101 ways education can save the world WHAT IF WE DESIGNED LIFELONG LIVELIHOOD LOEARNING SO THAT so that teachers & students, parent & communities were empowered to be ahead of 100 times more tech rather than the remnants of a system that puts macihnes and their exhausts ahead of human life and nature's renewal 2016 is arguably the first time thet educatirs became front and centre to the question that Von neummn asked journalist to mediate back in 1951- what goods will peoples do with 100 times more tech per decade? It appears that while multilaterals like the Un got used in soundbite and twittering ages to claim they valued rifghts & inclusion, pubblic goods & safety, they fotgot theirUN tech twin in Genva has been practising global connectivity since 1865, that dellow Goats of V neumnn has chiared Intellectual Cooperation in the 1920s which pervesrely became the quasi trade union Unesco- it took Abedian inspired educations in 2016 ro reunite ed and tecah as well as health and trade ; 7 decades of the UN not valuing Numenn's question at its core is quite late, but if we dare graviate UN2 aeound this digital coperation question now we give the younger half if the world a chnace especially as a billion poorest women have been synchronised to deep community human development since 1970
Dear Robert - you kindly asked for a short email so that you could see if there is a CGTN anchor in east coast who might confidentially share views with my expectation of how only Asian young women cultural movements (parenting and community depth but amplified by transparent tech in life shaping markets eg health, food, nature..) can return sustainability to all of us
three of my father's main surveys in The Economist 1962-1977 explain imo where future history will take us (and so why younger half of world need friendship/sustainable adaptation with Chinese youth -both on mainland and diaspora)
1962 consider japan approved by JF Kennedy: argued good news - 2 new economic models were emerging through japan korea south and taiwan relevant to all Asia Rising (nrxt to link the whole trading/supply chains of the far east coast down through hong kong and cross-seas at singapore)
1 rural keynsianism ie 100% productivity in village first of all food security- borlaug alumni ending starvation
2 supercity costal trade models which designed hi-tech borderless sme value chains- to build a 20 million person capital or an 8 million person superport you needed the same advances in engineering - partly why this second economic model was win-win for first time since engines begun Glasgow 1760 ; potentially able to leverage tech giant leaps 100 times ahead; the big opportunity von neumann had gifted us - knowhow action networking multiply value application unlike consuming up things
1976 entrepreneurial revolution -translated into italian by prodi - argued that future globalisation big politics big corporate would need to be triangularised by community scaled sme networks- this was both how innovation advancing human lot begins and also the only way to end poverty in the sense of 21st C being such that next girl born can thrive because every community taps in diversity/safety/ valuing child and health as conditions out of which intergenerational economic growth can spring
in 1977 fathers survey of china - argued that there was now great hope that china had found the system designs that would empower a billion people to escape from extreme poverty but ultimately education of the one child generation (its tech for human capabilities) would be pivotal ( parallel 1977 survey looked at the futures of half the world's people ie east of iran)

IN MORE DETAIL TECH HUMAN EXPONENTIALS LAST CHANCE DECADE?
- we are in midst of unprecedented exponential change (dad from 1960s called death of distance) the tech legacy of von neumann (dad was his biographer due to luckily meeting him in his final years including neumann's scoping of brain science (ie ai and human i) research which he asked yale to continue in his last lecture series). Exponential risks of extinction track to mainly western top-down errors at crossroads of tech over last 60 years (as well as non transparent geonomic mapping of how to reconcile what mainly 10 white empires had monopoly done with machines 1760-1945 and embedded in finance - see eg keynes last chapter of general theory of money); so our 2020s destiny is conditioned by quite simple local time-stamped details but ones that have compounded so that root cause and consequence need exact opposite of academic silos- so I hope there are some simple mapping points we can agree sustainability and chinese anchors in particular are now urgently in the middle of
Both my fatherwww.normanmacrae.netat the economist and I (eg co-authoring 1984 book2025 report,retranslated to 1993 sweden's new vikings) have argued sustainability in early 21st c will depend mostly on how asians as 65% of humans advance and how von neumann (or moores law) 100 times more tech every decade from 1960s is valued by society and business.
My father (awarded Japan's Order of Rising Sun and one time scriptwriter for Prince Charles trips to Japan) had served as teen allied bomber command burma campaign - he therefore had google maps in his head 50 years ahead of most media people, and also believed the world needed peace (dad was only journalist at messina birth of EU ) ; from 1960 his Asian inclusion arguments were almost coincidental to Ezra Vogel who knew much more about Japan=China last 2000 years ( additionally cultural consciousness of silk road's eastern dynamics not golden rule of Western Whites) and peter drucker's view of organisational systems
(none of the 10 people at the economist my father had mentored continued his work past 1993- 2 key friends died early; then the web turned against education-journalism when west coast ventures got taken over by advertising/commerce instead of permitting 2 webs - one hi-trust educational; the other blah blah. sell sell .sex sell. viral trivial and hate politicking)
although i had worked mainly in the far east eg with unilever because of family responsibilities I never got to china until i started bumping into chinese female graduates at un launch of sdgs in 2015- I got in 8 visits to beijing -guided by them around tsinghua, china centre of globalisation, a chinese elder Ying Lowrey who had worked on smes in usa for 25 years but was not jack ma's biographer in 2015 just as his fintech models (taobao not alibaba) were empowering villagers integration into supply chains; there was a fantastic global edutech conference dec 2016 in Tsinghua region (also 3 briefings by Romano Prodi to students) that I attended connected with great womens education hero bangladesh'sfazle abed; Abed spent much of hs last decade hosting events with chinese and other asian ambassadors; unite university graduates around sdg projects the world needed in every community but which had first been massively demonstrated in asia - if you like a version of schwarzman scholars but inclusive of places linking all deepest sustainability goals challenges
and i personally feel learnt a lot from 3 people broadcasting from cgtn you and the 2 ladies liu xin and tian wei (they always seemed to do balanced interviews even in the middle of trump's hatred campaigns), through them I also became a fan of father and daughter Jin at AIIB ; i attended korea's annual general meet 2017 of aiib; it was fascinating watching bankers for 60 countries each coming up with excuses as to why they would not lead on infrastructure investments (even though the supercity economic model depends on that)
Being a diaspora scot and a mathematician borders (managers who maximise externalisation of risks) scare me; especially rise of nationalist ones ; it is pretty clear historically that london trapped most of asia in colomisdation ; then bankrupted by world war 2 rushed to independence without the un or anyone helping redesign top-down systems ; this all crashed into bangladesh the first bottom up collaboration women lab ; ironically on health, food security, education bangladesh and chinese village women empowerment depended on sharing almost every village microfranchise between 1972 and 2000 especially on last mile health networking
in dads editing of 2025 from 1984 he had called for massive human awareness by 2001 of mans biggest risk being discrepancies in incomes and expectations of rich and poor nations; he suggested that eg public broadcast media could host a reality tv end poverty entrepreneur competition just as digital media was scaling to be as impactful as mass media
that didnt happen and pretty much every mess - reactions to 9/11, failure to do ai of epidemics as priority from 2005 instead of autonomous cars, failure to end long-term carbon investments, subprime has been rooted in the west not having either government nor big corporate systems necessary to collaboratively value Asian SDG innovations especially with 5g
nye:csis jan2020 dc the greatest debate help search 2025NOW.COM
I am not smart enough to understand how to thread all the politics now going on but in the event that any cgtn journalist wants to chat especially in dc where we could meet I do not see humans preventing extinction without maximising chinese youth (particularly womens dreams); due to covid we lost plans japan had to relaunch value of female athletes - so this and other ways japan and china and korea might have regained joint consciousness look as if they are being lost- in other words both cultural and education networks (not correctly valued by gdp news headlines) may still be our best chance at asian women empowerment saving us all from extinction but that needs off the record brainstorming as I have no idea what a cgtn journalist is free to cover now that trump has turned 75% of americans into seeing china as the enemy instead of looking at what asian policies of usa hurt humans (eg afghanistan is surely a human wrong caused mostly by usa); a; being a diaspora scot i have this naive idea that we need to celebrate happiness of all peoples an stop using media to spiral hatred across nations but I expect that isnt something an anchor can host generally but for example if an anchor really loves ending covid everywhere then at least in that market she needs to want to help united peoples, transparency of deep data etc
