Berlin Bioinformatics Hackathon
A lecture on Geoffrey Hinton's newly released capsule networks — the architecture then challenging the CNN's reign over computer vision.

In this lecture we discussed the newly released capsule network by Geoffrey Hinton and his co-authors. Capsule networks were the new and shiny neural network architecture challenging CNNs, then the king of the hill in computer vision.
It was an overwhelming experience to have been invited by our newfound friends Mike Richardson, a leading hardware design engineer, and Julien Fredonie, later head of innovation at Honda. Both worked hard to make it a reality, and hundreds of people showed up.
The lab had published the first viral TensorFlow implementation of capsule networks only weeks earlier. This was that work, taken to a room full of people.
