4th Summer School

on Deep Learning for Vision

Barcelona

UPC ETSETB TelecomBCN (June 25 - July 3, 2019)

Deep learning technologies are at the core of the current revolution in artificial intelligence for multimedia data analysis. The convergence of large-scale annotated datasets and affordable GPU hardware has allowed the training of neural networks for data analysis tasks which were previously addressed with hand-crafted features. Architectures such as convolutional neural networks, recurrent neural networks and Q-nets for reinforcement learning have shaped a brand new scenario in signal processing. This course will cover the basic principles and applications of deep learning to computer vision problems, such as image classification, object detection or image captioning.

Project

Project

The students developed a hands on challenge proposed by Dr. Rafael Ruiz de Castañeda and the Institute of Global Health in Geneve (Switzerland) in order to use Deep Learning to detect snake species to prevent snake bites, which cause of 100.000 human deaths each year. This project was selected as on of the most interesting in the recent CVPR 2019 Workshop on Computer Vision for Globall Challenges.

The development of this project was kindly sponsored with computation grants from Google Cloud Education. More details in the full press release.

Registration

Registration

This Summer School requires a previous knowledge on basic deep learning techniques, which will not be covered. Please follow these indications depending on your profile:

If you have no previous experience on deep learning:

You should not sign up for this course. Build a strong basis whether by attending to our Winter School on Introduction to Deep Learning at the end of January , or signing up for the full master course of Deep Learning for Artificial Intelligence taught during Autumn.

If you can prove previous training in deep learning (eg. DLAI, IDL, or ML&DL CFIS):

  • Master students at ETSETB: Registration is available from the ETSETB academic office. There is an extraordinary registration around the end of May. You can request it from esecretaria and choose “Procedures > related to enrollment”. There you must choose “Enrollment change” or “add a subject”. Only requests made this way will be taken into account.

  • Bachelor (grau) students at ETSETB: You can register these credits as “conjunt d’activitats d’extensió universitària”. You will need to first register through this form before 10 June 2019. After the course sign up for the credits at the ETSETB academic office.

  • CFIS students: You must have completed Register directly at the CFIS academic office.

  • Master students at FIB: Contact the FIB academic office. They will collect all applications and submit them to ETSETB for approval.

  • Other students or researchers at UPC & Master in Computer Vision: You might audit the course, with no official certification. If interested, fill in this form before 10 June 2019. You may be granted a seat, if there are any available after ETSETB, CFIS & FIB students have signed up. UPDATE (20th June 2019): The course is full now. If you have not received an e-mail from Piazza confirming your seat, it means that we could not allocate your request.

  • Other students currently enroled in another academic program: You can request attending to the seminar by sending your CV and motivation letter to the ETSETB academic office, clearly showing your previous knowledge in deep learning and their software frameworks. If accepted, you will need to cover the full cost of the course (429,24 euros, which correspond to 3 ECTS during academic course 2018/2019). You must alreaday be legally eligible to attend to this course, we will not release any acceptance later for visas.

  • Other profiles (eg. industry members): This course is not addressed to this audience. If you are interested in this topic, we suggest you consider the postgraduate program in Artificial Intelligence with Deep Learning from UPC School. This postgraduate extends the contents of this Summer School and is also supported by the UPC TelecomBCN School. You can nevertheless attend to the Open Day session on Friday, which is public.

Contact

Piazza will be used for class discussion and communication, instead of the regular UPC Atenea platform. Piazza is highly catered to getting you help fast and efficiently from classmates, TAs and instructors. Rather than emailing questions to the teaching staff, I encourage you to post your questions on Piazza. If you have any problems or feedback for the developers, email team@piazza.com.
