报告摘要：Deep learning networks, including convolution and recurrent neural networks (CNN and RNN), provide a powerful tool for image, video and speech processing and understanding nowadays. However, their superior performance has not been well understood. In this talk, I will unveil the myth of the superior performance of CNNs. To begin with, I will describe network architectural evolution in three generations: first, the McClulloch and Pitts (M-P) neuron model and simple networks (1940-1980); second, the artificial neural network (ANN) (1980-2000); and, third, the modern CNN (2000-Present). The differences between these three generations will be clearly explained. Next, theoretical foundations of CNNs have been studied from the approximation, the optimization and the signal representation viewpoints, and I will present main results from the signal processing viewpoints and use an intuitive way to explain the complicated operations of the CNN systems. Although deep learning offers state-of-the-art performance in many application domains, it has several weaknesses. In the final part of my talk, I will point out several new research directions.
