FUNDAMENTALS OF DEEP LEARNING ONLINE WORKSHOP​

When: 24th September, 9:30 - 17:30
Where: Online delivery on NVIDIA cloud
Applications are now closed

DiRAC, in partnership with NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute, is delighted to be delivering a one-day online workshop on the fundamentals of deep learning.

Aims
  • Acquire fundamental techniques and tools to train a deep learning model. 
  • Experience with common deep learning data types and model architectures. 
  • Enhance datasets through data augmentation to improve model accuracy. 
  • Leverage transfer learning between models to achieve efficient results with less data and computation  
  • Build confidence to take on your own project with a modern deep learning framework. 

 

Requirements 
  • Understanding of fundamental programming concepts in Python 3, such as functions, loops, dictionaries, Pandas, and arrays; 
  • Understanding of how to compute a regression line.

Suggested materials to satisfy the above can be found in Python Beginner’s Guide.
