Deep Learning for Artificial Intelligence
This course offers a top-down approach to the study of deep neural network-based solutions beginning with an introduction of basic concepts and applications. Course participants are then guided through implementation of common architectures and corresponding training and prediction procedures, which includes a simple environment setup and interactive participation using Anaconda Jupyter notebooks. The underlying first principles are then reviewed to provide the foundation necessary for deeper understanding and interrogation of these large, complex mathematical models. We conclude this short course by revisiting notable applications to discuss lessons learned.
Build consistent terminology for Artificial Intelligence (AI) concepts and Machine Learning (ML) & Deep Learning (DL) tools
Understand neural network components to interrogate the “black box” problem-solving paradigm
Examine neural network-based solutions and understand which applications are suitable for Deep Learning
Gain familiarity with common deep neural network architectures for classification, detection, and data generation
Learn to set up a simple working environment, implement basic deep neural networks, and evaluate algorithm performance
Offered live, on-line, Tuesday and Thursday for ~2 hour blocks each day in the afternoon (actual time TBD). or
Recorded lectures offered on-line.
