"Efficient Deep Neural Networks for 3-D Scene Understanding of Unstruct" by Joshua Luke Thompson
In the past decade, deep learning (DL) has taken the world by storm. It has produced significant results in a wide variety of applications ranging from self driving cars to natural language processing (NLP). Modern deep learning is built from a number of different algorithms including artificial neural networks (ANN), optimisation algorithms, back-propagation (BP), and varying levels of supervision. Recent advances in GPU hardware, improved availability of large, high quality datasets, and the development of modern training algorithms have all played a pivotal role in the emergence of modern d...
