Introduction

Until a few years back, deep learning was considered of a lesser importance as compared to machine learning. The emergence of neural networks & big-data has made various tasks possible.

Back in 2009, deep learning was only an emerging field and only a few people recognized it as fruitful area of research. But soon it gained momentum and is used today for several applications. Speech recognition, image recognition, finding patterns in a dataset, object classification in photographs, character text generation, self-driving cars and many more. Hence it is important to be familiar with deep learning and its concepts.

To make it easier for you to learn deep learning, I have curated list of youtube videos, tutorials and courses on deep learning from 2016. The list includes talks & tutorials from deep learning summer school, summits, and conference.

I hope you will find this helpful.

 

Who can benefit from these videos?

The videos have been shortlisted for beginners, intermediates and experts in deep learning.

The article has been divided into sections for each one of you. If you a novice or intermediate in deep learning then start with the first section. If you want to master deep learning then this article will be your best resource. First, make a schedule and start learning deep learning. I bet  in few weeks you will at least be able to build your first model in deep learning.

For experts in deep learning, the advanced section contains good videos for you to enhance your knowledge. The 5 mins videos in the beginners will be a good refresher for you.
