3rd Seminar School on

Introduction to Deep Learning

Barcelona

UPC ETSETB TelecomBCN (January 22 - 28, 2020)

Previous editions: [2018] [2018] [All DL courses]

MSc extension: [2017] [2018] [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 or Q-nets for reinforcement learning have shaped a brand new scenario in signal processing. This course will cover the basic principles of deep learning from both an algorithmic and computational perspectives.

Registration

Registration

Registration procedure depends on the student profile:

  • Bachelor students at ETSETB who can register the 2 ECTS: Follow the regular schedule from your academic office. There is an extraordinary registration period in mid January.
  • Master students at ETSETB: This Winter School is a light version of the full MSc course of Deep learning for Artificial Intelligence, taught during the Autumn semester. So we encourage you to sign up for this other one.
  • Students at UPC but not in ETSETB: Contact the your academic office and request being allowed to take this course. If accepted, contact ETSETB academic office and request more details. Industry: Those industry members interested in the topic are encouraged to apply for the UPC School postgradute course on Artificial Intelligence with Deep Learning, running between November 2018 and April 2020.
