Executives, managers, and entrepreneurs from either technical or business backgrounds will walk away with a better understanding of recent advances in deep learning and how they can be leveraged in the modern digital economy. Beyond personal photos, innovators can apply the techniques outlined in this video to an array of scenarios, from satellite imagery to warehouse and supply chain management.
