Deep Learning is an interesting new branch of machine learning where neural networks consisting of multiple layers have shown new generalization capabilities. The seminar will look at advances in both general deep learning approaches, and at the specific case of Neural Machine Translation (NMT). NMT is a new paradigm in data-driven machine translation. In Neural Machine Translation, the entire translation process is posed as an end-to-end supervised classification problem, where the training data is pairs of sentences and the full sequence to sequence task is handled in one model.

There is a Munich interest group for Deep Learning, which has an associated mailing list, the paper announcements are sent out on this list. See the link here.
