This document discusses deep learning research at Nielsen's Machine Learning Lab. It begins with an introduction to the speaker's background and an overview of machine learning categories. It then discusses Nielsen's use of deep learning for tasks like look-alike modeling and online ad targeting. The rest of the document covers motivations for deep learning, neural network architectures like convolutional and recurrent networks, and techniques to improve inference speed, such as using GPUs, sparse matrix multiplication, and network trimming.
