This elective course introduces students to the fundamentals of deep learning and takes them on a journey through the whole zoo of architectures, design and applications. Emphasis is on learning concepts related to the underlying principles of machine learning in general. The course is structured in a goal-oriented fashion with a well-known application forming the skeleton: in this case, the Telugu OCR system developed in the School. Students will hack their way through the OCR system while learning the DL concepts.
In addition, several technical papers, videos and other material will be provided as needed.
There are some fun, and more or less informal, notes on machine learning. Haven't yet proof-read them thoroughly; check and report mistakes. Thanks!
Mondays: 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM
Tuesdays: 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
