Schedule:

MO27 Piano Terra - Sala Master

  • Mon 12 Feb, 14:00-18:00 (4 hours)
  • Tue 13 Feb, 10:00-14:00 (2 hours + 2 hours Lab)
  • Wed 14 Feb, 10:00-14:00 (2 hours + 2 hours Lab)
  • Thu 15 Feb, 09:00-12:00 (3 hours)

Program:

Deep Learning can be seen as an evolution of Neural Networks to deal with the Representation Learning problem. The use of deep learning provides a way to tackle the recognition problems end-to-end. The same neural network model provides a representation of the input signals to recognize (images, speech, ...) and a seamless classification model.

In these lectures we will learn from the basic fully connected models to the convolutional networks. Important details regarding regularization, normalization or data augmentation will be considered as well. Some basic code will be provide in order to practically apply the theoretical concepts.

Finally some applications will be mentioned:

  • Fault prediction in factories
  • Fraud detection in Visa transactions
  • Logo detection
  • Energy price forecasting
  • Face recognition


Theoretical Requirements: Basic Machine Learning, Linear Algebra, Basic Image Processing
Practical Requirements: Python Programming

Exam:
Test with closed questions

CFD: 5
