While once considered a research dead-end, artificial neural networks are making a huge resurgence. Over the past decade, neural network researchers have leveraged a combination of novel research and hardware advances to drastically advance the state of the art in neural networking. This new area, called Deep Learning, has shown promise in tasks such as facial, speech, and handwriting recognition, and may hold promise for cyber-security use-cases as well. This talk will explain how Deep Learning works at a fundamental level - starting with basic concepts and building up gently until the audience understand the complete picture. It will also attempt to shed light on how the human brain works, since the Deep Learning approach is thought to mimic how the brain stores, retrieves and classifies information.
