Introduction
• Neural network software has been open-sourced so it can
be used widely.
• I’ll discuss/demonstrate the following:
– Neural networks – what are they?
– Uses of Neural Networks
– TensorFlow
– Torch
– CNTK
– Caffe

Neural networks are a paradigm for processing information
loosely based on the idea of neurons that communicate
information in the brain and spinal cord. 2)

Examples of Neural Network (NN) Use
• Medicine
– Per IOM (Institute of Medicine, 2015) one of ten patient deaths in the US is due to misdiagnosis.
– NNs can be used in diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, colon cancer, pancreatic disease,
gynecological diseases, diabetes, coronary artery disease, breast/thyroid cancer and others. 1)
• Finance
– In 2014, card not present fraud was $2.9B in US – expected to be $6.4B by 2018.
– NNs can be used for credit card fraud detection along with other machine learning approaches
such as Support Vector Machines, K-nearest neighbor, etc. 2)
• Network Security
– The direct annual loss in 2011 from global cyber crime was $114B.
– Authors propose a Artificial Immune System that uses neural networks as detectors. 3)
• Energy Efficiency
– During the next 10 years, electricity demand expected to grow by 13% to 15% per year.
– Authors describe a system using neural networks that can communicate with electricity grids.
– Expected to reduce energy loss from 16% to between 3% -- 5%. 4)
