Meetup du 17 octobre 2016.

Résumé :

We all know machine learning is great for helping you tag friends on Facebook, suggesting what brand of toothpaste will improve your smile, and picking the ad most likely to unlock your wallet. In this talk, however, I hope to demonstrate for you that there are some interesting applications you may not have thought of, such as detecting landmines from radar, finding orangutans in the Bornean Jungle, or helping a car avoid pedestrians.
