My first experience at ODSC West exceeded my lofty expectations. Personal highlights include:
Teaching an oversubscribed four-hour tutorial on deep learning with TensorFlow (pictured above; slides here)
Meeting hundreds of wonderful fans at my Deep Learning Illustrated book-signing (pictured below)
Sharing meals with some of the biggest names in data science, including Pieter Abbeel, Kirk Borne, and Kate Strachnyi
