Connecting Companies with the Power of AI

Our center provides technical capacity and expertise to companies seeking to establish or improve access to artificial intelligence.

Center for Deep Learning

The Center for Deep Learning’s (CDL) mission is to act as a resource for companies seeking to establish or improve access to artificial intelligence (AI) by providing technical capacity and expertise, allowing the center’s members to achieve proof of concept or deployment.


Become a Member

The center’s faculty seeks active engagement toward building a robust, comprehensive, and scalable solution for an end-to-end deep learning training and model-serving architecture.

Your membership funds the development of open-source software produced with member input. It also provides you high visibility with Northwestern students and access to faculty for closed-source projects.

Deep Learning Model Serving (DELOS) System

Partner with us

We are developing a serving system to address the needs of deep learning models and we are looking for partners to participate, influence, and benefit from it.

If you are either at the beginning of deep learning capability assessment, or already have multiple deep learning models in production, the model serving solution will facilitate crossing the chasm from proof-of-concept to production democratization.
