Presented by Kevin Perko, Head of Data Science at Scribd Next DSS NYC Event 👉 https://datascience.salon/newyork/ Next DSS LA Event 👉 https://datascience.salon/la/ Kevin will cover his experience using deep learning, going from scratch to deploying models in production to improve the product experience. He goes in-depth in terms of how we started deep learning from scratch, including navigating the maze of frameworks and hyper-parameters to optimize. Kevin will discuss pitfalls of using other people's algorithms and make a call for more rigor in publishing data science blog posts. Kevin closes with how his failure turned into an open source contribution and the work in moving from dev to production.
