Deep Learning has revolutionized the fields of computer vision, speech recognition and control systems. Can Deep Learning work for scientific problems? This talk will explore a variety of DOE/LBL applications that are currently benefiting from Deep Learning. We will review classification and regression problems in astronomy, cosmology, neuroscience, genomics and high-energy physics. We will outline several short and long-term challenges at the frontier of DL research, and speculate about the role of DL and AI in the future of scientific discovery.
