Tutorial B 1300-1715

Deep Learning: Theory, Tools, and Applications

Presented by Dr. Tarek Taha and Mr. Zahangir Alom, University of Dayton

Description:
Deep Learning is a set of neural network based machine learning algorithms and has become widely used in a large set of applications. This tutorial will cover the basic the basics of deep learning and go over common tools used for deep learning.

Outline:

  1. Neural Networks and the back-propagation training algorithm
  2. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and its variants
  3. Auto-Encoder (AE) and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN)
  4. Generative models and reinforcement learning
  5. Applications of deep learning in computer vision and medical imaging:
      1. Classification
      2. Segmentation
      3. Detection

Requirements : Basic knowledge of pattern recognition. The tutorial will start with the basics of neural networks and proceed to the latest deep learning networks.

 

Tutorials are included with conference registration and will be held on the afternoon of the first day of the program, July 23, 2018
