The importance of certain layers in DNNs

This week we are joined by Ari Morcos. Ari is a research scientist at Facebook AI Research (FAIR) in Menlo Park working on understanding the mechanisms underlying neural network computation and function, and using these insights to build machine learning systems more intelligently. In particular, he has worked on a variety of topics, including understanding the lottery ticket hypothesis, self-supervised learning, the mechanisms underlying common regularizers, and the properties predictive of ...
