Arthur Tisi | Understanding Humans with Machines

Deep neural networks dominate advanced approaches to pattern recognition. Today neural networks transcribe our speech, recognize our pets, understand linguistics and fight our trolls. Recent advances by Geoff Hinton and the introduction of capsule networks only ups the ante. But despite the results, we have to wonder… why do they work so well?

In this session, Arthur Tisi, CEO and Founder of MeaningBot, shares some extremely remarkable results in applying deep neural networks to natural language processing (NLP), particularly in the areas of determining human traits in the areas of leadership, team building, personality, consumption preferences and more. Arthur will cite real world examples and share some of the math and science behind these advances including different variants of artificial neural networks, such as deep multilayer perceptron (MLP), convolutional neural network (CNN), recursive neural network (RNN), recurrent neural network (RNN), long short-term memory (LSTM), sequence-to-sequence model, and shallow neural networks including word2vec for word embeddings.
