ABOUT THIS MINOR
This minor is also open to students from the SPECTRUM graduate school.
- Summary
-
This foundational course on deep learning introduces the core concepts, techniques, and applications of this rapidly evolving field. It will equip you with the knowledge to understand the potential, challenges, and implications of deep learning and prepare you to contribute to the development of advanced AI technologies.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
- Know the principles of Deep Learning (neural network)
- Know how to build models based on neural networks to process structured data, images or text
Throughout the course, you will build and train neural network architectures, including convolutional and recurrent neural networks, and learn to optimize them using strategies like Dropout, BatchNorm, and advanced initialization techniques. By combining theoretical knowledge with hands-on implementation in Python and TensorFlow, you will tackle real-world problems such as object recognition and natural language processing.
