[Tokyo Azure Meetup] Getting Started with Deep Learning and Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit (CNTK)

I had a session of Deep Learning and Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit (CNTK) at Tokyo Azure Meetup yesterday.

• Tokyo Azure Meetup > Getting Started with Deep Learning, Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit and Managed Disks (2017/08/28)
  • https://www.meetup.com/Tokyo-Azure-Meetup/events/242378537/

I used slides of modules 1 and 2 in this course:

• edX > Deep Learning Explained
  • https://www.edx.org/course/deep-learning-explained-microsoft-dat236x

Here are CNTK resources:

• Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit (CNTK)
  • https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/cognitive-toolkit/
  • https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/cognitive-toolkit/features/model-gallery/
  • https://docs.microsoft.com/cognitive-toolkit/
  • https://github.com/Microsoft/CNTK

You can try CNTK tutorials easily with “Azure Notebooks” service:

• Azure Notebooks
  • https://notebooks.azure.com/
  • https://notebooks.azure.com/cntk/libraries/tutorials

You can create DS VM (Data Science Virtual Machine) (in which CNTK is installed) using a GPU instance (NC_Series) or a CPU instance on Azure:

• Data Science Virtual Machine for Linux (Ubuntu)
  • https://azuremarketplace.microsoft.com/marketplace/apps/microsoft-ads.linux-data-science-vm-ubuntu
  • https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/machine-learning/machine-learning-data-science-virtual-machine-overview
