  • Sayan Pathak Cognitive Toolkit (CNTK) Deep Dive and Hands-on Tutorial - Nov 2016 This YouTube video goes from a high level view, to an intermediate level of detail and then to hands-on tutorials. The first half is a talk and slideware. The later half is hands-on tutorials

  • KDD 2016: Frank Seide and Amit Agarwal presented a tutorial titled, "CNTK: Microsoft's Open-Source Deep-Learning Toolkit" on August 16, 2016. Tutorial description here, Prerequisites page here; slides here; video here, note: 3 parts. This 3-hour hands-on tutorial covers the following topics:

    • what: ...is CNTK? Including an introduction into the core concept of CNTK, the "computational network."
    • how: ...does a typical use of CNTK look like? Configuration of key components, workflow.
    • deep dive: ...into unique CNTK technologies. Automatic unrolling of time & efficient minibatching of variable-length sequences; data-parallel training with 1-bit SGD and Block Momentum.
    • hands-on tutorials:
      • hello world: getting set up, running a first logistic regression task
      • language understanding: slot and intent tagging on the ATIS language-understanding corpus. Available online
      • image recognition: with convolutional nets, batch normalization, and residual networks using the CIFAR-10 corpus Available online
