Title: The challenges of developing an active deep-learning platform

Abstract:
Deep learning is usually linked to Big Data. However, there are several scientific, engineering and medical imaging problems with limited data available (e.g. rare medical conditions). Can Deep Learning prove a useful tool in such cases? COSMONiO is designing NOUS, an active deep learning platform that aims to make high-accuracy predictions using significantly smaller training datasets. NOUS aims to allow experts from any field to train neural networks without any prior experience. We will discuss the main challenges and how we address them.
