**1. **How Deep Learning Can Keep You Safe with Real-Time Crime Alerts

From Nikunj Aggarwal, the Machine Learning Lead at Citizen, this article gives us a great example of how deep learning is being used to create life-changing (or life-saving) technologies. Citizen is an emergency and safety alert app that warns people of incidents and crimes that have taken place in their area in real-time.

The company used a speech-to-text engine and a convolutional neural network to analyze first responder radio frequencies. In doing so, the company was able to scale their app to multiple cities in the United States. This technology could mark a huge change in the police and first responder infrastructure in years to come.
