Deep learning is an awesome topic. The problem I find isn't the concept or the maths. It is the enormous amount of damn data janitorial work that I have to process everyday.

Oh data didn't come back in a clean format? 10 hours gone.

All these text need to be tagged? 2 days

What categories do these images fall under? Another 3 days spent tagging

Wanna parallelize your algorithmn? Ok, good luck learning how to deploy to multiple machines on AWS.

I will pay easily for a service that allows me to run my analysis in parallel without any sysadmin knowledge.

What would you like to do? I made deeplearning4j for this express purpose? Don't need hadoop, command line aws (just specify the number of machines), with a consistent data pipeline interface usable in either single threaded or distributed mode. Happy to take feature requests and answer questions.

It looks like Azure ML will scale out and run parallel code paths simultaneously automatically - any feedback?
