Abstract:
With the availability of data and increased computational power, deep learning applications and their popularity are growing exponentially. The main objective of this workshop is to provide introductory theoretical knowledge on deep learning and practical implementations using python programming language and associated packages. Therefore, participants will get an overall idea of deep learning and its applications. This workshop will also guide students on what they need to learn to build their careers in this field. Overall, the workshop shall work as a helpful starting point and will encourage participants to dig deeper into the field of deep
learning.
At the end of this workshop, active participants are expected to be able to:
1. Demonstrate the fundamental concept of deep CNN and implement it in python.
2. Tune hyperparameters to optimize the model’s performance.
3. Model’s performance evaluation and comparative analysis.
4. Identify what to learn to become an expert in this domain.
Prerequisites:
1. The participants are expected to have a minimum basic understanding of python programming language.
2. Basic knowledge of Machine Learning would be helpful to understand the concept.
