Abstract

Deep Learning is a fast-growing area in the field of machine learning within which systems can be trained to identify patterns in a way that loosely represent biological neural computation. Recent advances in such Deep Neural Network (DNN) technology have led to a significant performance leap in pattern-recognition tasks such as computer vision (image understanding), text mining (language
understanding) and voice recognition (audio understanding). This advancement has been further enhanced by the evolution of low-cost Graphical Processing Units (GPUs) into massively-parallel computing platforms capable of processing the vast dataset requirements for such tasks.

This project looks beyond the initial applications of such technology, largely aimed at the classification of images, words and sound to a set of expected semantic labels to the problem of anomaly detection.
Asking the novel research question - what is different from normal here within this stream of data? - rather than specifically identifying the {pixel | text | word ...} pattern for {person | vehicle | dog ...} etc in the conventional sense.
