Course Objectives This course aims to give students a general understanding of machine learning (ML) terminology; most common deep learning (DL) algorithms; applications of DL techniques to real-life problems with Python and TensorFlow (TF), parameter selections for learning and interpretation of the results.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • build and train deep neural networks with TF,
  • identify main architectural parameters of DL,
  • build convolutional neural networks (CNN) and apply them for object detection with image data,
  • build and train recurrent neural networks (RNN),
  • work with natural language processing (NLP) and word embedding.
Course Description This course is an introduction to deep learning which is behind many recent advances in AI, such as face recognition, self-driving cars, human-like speech generators, etc. A range of topics including basic neural networks, convolutional and recurrent network structures and NLP will be covered, focusing on both theory and practice. A strong mathematical background in calculus, linear algebra, probability & statistics, and coding experience with Python are expected. Machine learning background is good to have but not required.
