Vitor Meriat is an expert in deep learning with CNTK. The document discusses the history and timeline of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning from the 1950s to the future. It then provides an overview of CNTK, including its creation by Microsoft researchers in 2012, use in various Microsoft products, performance benchmarks, and architectures it supports like generative adversarial networks and recurrent neural networks.
