On November 7, 2015 Arjun Bansal, co-founder of Nervana Systems and head of the Machine Learning team presented at the Deep Learning Startup.ML workshop in San Francisco at Yelp’s SoMa offices. This workshop brought together the brightest minds in the field of Data Science and Machine Learning to train the next generation of deep learning experts in industry.

 

Arjun Bansal’s workshop focused on neon, an open-source python based deep learning framework that has been built from the ground up for speed and ease of use. The workshop highlighted how to use neon, and presented a couple of tutorials on performing sentiment analysis using neon, and deep reinforcement learning with neon (previous blog post). Arjun also gave a sneak preview of the integration of neon with the Nervana cloud (in private beta).
