Event/Course Description

Would you like to learn the theoretical and practical basics about Deep Learning?

Sign up

In the course, you’ll learn how deep neural networks work and how they are optimised. During our hands-on sessions you will have the opportunity to work on our high-performance systems and train neural networks to solve an image classification problem. We’ll cover various neural network architectures: from a basic fully connected network, to a convolutional neural network and variational auto-encoders (time permitting).

What you will learn

In this course you will learn to

  • Understand how a neuron and neural network works
  • Understand how a neural network is trained
  • Explore the effect of hyperparameters on neural network performance
  • Work with a high-level machine learning API (Keras)

For whom

Everyone interested in deep learning, but with no (or little) current experience & knowledge.

Topics

  • Neural network: basics
    • How does a neuron work?
    • Fully connected networks
    • Training/optimising a neural network
  • Convolutional neural networks (CNNs)
  • (Variational) Auto-Encoders

Prerequisites

  • Python
  • Basics of linear algebra
  • Basic statistics
