- Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and its variants
- Auto-Encoder (AE) and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN)
- Generative models and reinforcement learning
- Applications of deep learning in computer vision and medical imaging:
-
- Classification
- Segmentation
- 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
