I (Arthur) always remember comp.speech and comp.speech.research which I was able to cross path with many great developers/researchers. Another fond memory of mine related to discussion forum was with CMU Sphinx, a large vocabulary speech recognizer, which many users later become very advanced, and spawned numerous projects. You always learn something new from people around the world. That was the reason why Internet is really really great.
Translate to now, wow, searching for a solid discussion forum for deep learning is hard. Many of them, in Facebook or LinkedIn are really spammy. I tried Plus for a while, but for the most part no one digs my message. (My writing style? 🙂 ) So when Waikit Lau, an old friend + veteran startup investors/mentor/helper, asked me to help admin the group. I was more than happy to oblige.
Yes, you hear it right, Artificial Intelligence & Deep Learning Group is a curated discussion forum, we rejected spammers, ads and only blog posts which are relevant to us are allowed.
Alright everyone does it, I might as well:
WE ARE 1000 MEMBERS STRONG!
WE ARE 1000 MEMBERS STRONG!
WE ARE 1000 MEMBERS STRONG!
(Just kidding, we are not really chasing for a bigger group, but more quality discussion.)
Some come join us. We are very happy to chat with you on deep learning.
Arthur and Waikit
