Practical Deep Learning

Practical Deep Learning
Relatore:  Alex Honchar
  venerdì 18 novembre 2016 alle ore 14.30
This seminar will cover theory and applications of modern artificial neural networks, in particular, deep neural networks.
We will discuss basics of machine learning, mathematics behind artificial neural networks, their applications to computer vision (with convolutional neural networks), sequence data analysis (time series prediction, sentiment analysis with recurrent neural networks), give a look on bleeding edge research areas.
This seminar is called practical, because we will not only look on slides and derive formulas, but launch code and test results to give better intuition of how algorithms work.
During the course students will get understanding of how deep learning works, what areas of applications it has, how to implement, train and deploy own neural network in Python and have a plan of further development and getting a job in machine learning.

Due to limited availability of room space, computer science students interested to attend the course should send an e-mail to their representative Erik Pillon for organizational purposes
