Objectives and outcomes
Introducing deep learning concepts, theoretical overview and the implementation of various deep learning algorithms through projects. After this course, students will be able to recognise problems that can be solved with deep learning. They will be able to read most of the state-of-the-art research papers on deep learning and understand the mathematical and technical solutions presented.
Lectures
Introduction, a modular approach to learning deep architectures. Practical aspects (normalisation, regularisation, hyperparameter tuning). Optimisation algorithms. Deep neural networks. Deep convolutional neural networks – different architectures, practical aspects, object detection, face recognition and style transfer).
