Neural Networks (LTAT.02.001)

Important: Please note that during the week from 7th Feb - 13th Feb there will be no classes in our course. We will start on the week 14th Feb - 21st Feb. Check the tab Timetable for a detailed schedule.

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.
