Neural Networks for Engineering Students
Read the top first. Elon Musk thinks this is more dangerous than nukes. Show a little respect, but don't be afraid.

% The \author macro works with any number of authors. There are two commands
% used to separate the names and addresses of multiple authors: \And and \AND.
%
% Using \And between authors leaves it to \LaTeX{} to determine where to break
% the lines. Using \AND forces a linebreak at that point. So, if \LaTeX{}
% puts 3 of 4 authors names on the first line, and the last on the second
% line, try using \AND instead of \And before the third author name.

\maketitle
Instead of overwhelming the reader with the many sources and opinions that exist, I have chosen to demonstrate in narrative how obscenely dangerous these technologies could be. If you have the opportunity, THINK ABOUT HOW THESE COULD BE USED FOR EVIL, AS WELL AS GOOD. PLEASE.

\item \textbf{Neural net applications}:
\begin{enumerate}
\item \href{http://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1266579}{\textit{Cat faces}}: Google trains a billion-parameter neural network on GPUs (\$\$\$) and discovers cats on youtube
\item \href{https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xN1d3qHMIEQ}{\textit{Deep Mind}}: Acquired by Google for \$500M+ because they made a deep net that can learn to play Atari games at superhuman levels. Combines deep learning and reinforcement learning

\end{enumerate}
\item \textbf{Reading:}
\begin{enumerate}
\item Bishop \cite{bishop1995neural}: this is the main theoretical reference for neural networks. It even has a chapter on Bayesian interpretations at the end, tying neural networks to probabilistic graphical models.
\item Efficient BackProp \cite{lecun2012efficient}: Also referred to as "Tricks of the trade" because it was republished in a book which bears the title.
\item Convolutional Neural Networks \cite{krizhevsky2012imagenet}: Trained a deep, very high dimensional ($\mathbb{R}^{60,000,000}$) convolutional network on ImageNet dataset. This network architecture learns the optimal FIR filters which produce features which are good for separating the different image classes. What is interesting is that the neural network features get better classification performance than human designed features.
\end{enumerate}
\item \textbf{Tutorial projects:} \href{http://deeplearning.stanford.edu/tutorial/}{\textit{UFLDL}}
\begin{enumerate}
\item These are programming-intensive projects, intended to be completed in teams of 2-3.
\item If you successfully finish, you will know deterministic neural networks well.
\item Sequence starts you off at ECE 174; if you took that class, then you are well prepared. You can think of these projects as a template for an independent study, taken with the other reading I mentioned, especially Bishop.
\end{enumerate}
\item \textbf{Open source projects:}
