Publish Date: May 05, 2015

Deep learning is a promising machine learning technique with a high barrier to entry. In this talk, we provide an easy entry into this field via "deep features" from pre-trained models. These features can be trained on one data set for one task and used to obtain good predictions on a different task, on a different data set. No prior experience is necessary.
