Part 1 of 2: Fundamentals of Deep Learning
This two-part workshop will introduce deep learning techniques and applications.
Deep learning is a powerful AI approach that uses multi-layered artificial neural networks to deliver state-of-the-art accuracy in tasks such as object detection, speech recognition, and language translation. Using deep learning, computers can learn and recognize patterns from data that are considered too complex or subtle for expert-written software. Each session is roughly divided into 3 hours of active teaching and 1 hour of extra Q&A.
Three components below will spread over the two sessions:
- The mechanics of deep learning with a focus on computer vision.
- Use pre-trained models and deep learning models to solve problems.
- Object classification and research applications.
Upon successful completion of the assessment, you’ll receive an NVIDIA certificate.
