Deep Learning - study circle

Organizers: Bo Bernhardsson, Kalle Åström, Magnus Fontes

 

Course TAs: Fredrik Bagge Carlsson, Martin Karlsson

 

This is a PhD course organized in the form of a reading group where the work is carried out mainly by the participants.

We will use the book Deep Learning by Bengio et al.

To this we will also look at

  • Some DL platform(s), Tensorflow (or alternatives)
  • Data sets, especially some interesting from biology provided by Magnus Fontes
  • Video Lectures
  • DL competitions, see kaggle
  • Cloud/GPU implementations

 

Collection of Deep Learning material 

 

Prerequisities:  You are supposed to know the material in Ch 1-5 in Bengio beforehand. If you are completly new to machine learning you might want to first follow the ML course given at the math department

 

Examination: For credits (7.5 ECTS) you should be resposible for one session, complete at least half of the homeworks, and do a smaller deep learning project of your choice.

 We will upload our homeworks on this git repository.
