Dr. Sven Behnke is Professor and Head of Computer Science at the University of Bonn, where he also heads the Autonomous Intelligent Systems group. At the Deep Learning Summit in London, Sven will discuss the Neural Abstraction Pyramid, a deep learning architecture, in which layer-by-layer unsupervised learning creates increasingly abstract image representations. The presentation will also focus on more recent work on deep learning for object-class segmentation of images and semantic RGB-D perception. We caught up with Sven ahead of the summit on 24-25 September to hear more about his work and the recent advancements in deep learning.Q: What are your recent developments on the Neural Abstraction Pyramid?Our recent developments include discriminative training through max-pooling units, object-class segmentation for color and RGB-D images, training with a structured loss for object detection, and the application of recurrent deep networks to surface categorization in RGB-D video.Q: What are the key factors that have enabled recent advancements in deep learning? I see three key factors for the recent advances in deep learning. First of all, algorithmic advances, such as discriminative training through max-pooling units, drop-out regularization, and deep architectures which better match the statistics of the data and improve performance on existing problems. Secondly, the collection and annotation of large data sets, such as ImageNet, created new challenges, where deep learning of non-linear, convolutional feature extraction outperformed other methods. Finally, the availability of general-purpose GPUs and other affordable parallel computers made it possible to train deep architectures on large data sets and to optimize their hyper-parameters.
