This document discusses how Azure can help with deep learning work. It provides a timeline of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning from the 1950s to the future. It then discusses deep learning architectures like neural networks, GANs, and RNNs. It presents Azure Batch, a service for large-scale parallel training with GPUs and networking. Finally, it discusses challenges like data explosion, the need for scale, low latency, and throughput for AI and the role of CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs and other technologies in addressing these challenges.
