Neural Networks (LTAT.02.001)

The course presents the main concepts of the theory and practice of modern neural networks. It also gives students the basic understanding and tools to be able to independently apply neural networks to real problems.

The lectures are based on the book "Deep Learning" by Ian Goodfellow and Yoshua Bengio and Aaron Courville. In practices we are following the excellent Stanford university course "Convolutional Neural Networks for Visual Recognition" by Andrej Karpathy, Justin Johnson and Fei-Fei Li.
