Deep learning with limited labelled data

Implementing AI

Location: Yosemite BC

Level: Intermediate

Secondary topics:  Data and training, Medicine

Avesh Singh (Cardiogram), Brandon Ballinger (Cardiogram)

Deep learning is fuelled by large labelled datasets, but in domains like medicine, each label represents a human life at risk. Avesh Singh and Brandon Ballinger offer an overview of auto encoders, heuristic training, and few-shot learning, with an emphasis on practical tips to create high-performing models utilizing hundreds of thousands of unlabelled data points and only thousands of labelled points.
