Neural Networks (LTAT.02.001)

Important: The first lecture is on 10.02.2026, and the first practice sessions will take place in 11.02.2026 (group 1) and 12.02.2026 (group 2).

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 partly based on material from the book "Deep Learning" by Ian Goodfellow, Yoshua Bengio and Aaron Courville. Practices are based on the Stanford university course "Convolutional Neural Networks for Visual Recognition" by Andrej Karpathy, Justin Johnson and Fei-Fei Li.

Lectures:
Tuesdays 14:15 room 1019.


Practices:
Group 1: Wednesdays 10:15 room 2048.
Group 2: Thursdays 12:15 room 1008.

We will be using moodle as the main channel for this course timetable, assignments and others and zulip for communication between students and instructors, questions, etc. Please head to moodle as we will concentrate all the required information and resources relevant for the course there.

Grading

  • Practice test 1 will give 30 points.
  • Practice test 2 will give 30 points.
  • You will have the option to choose whether to take on a project or suggested challenges towards the end of the course. They will give up to 40 points. More information coming soon.
  • Homeworks bonuses and participation in the lecture assignments will give up to 10 points of the final grade in bonus (extra) points. Details are to be determined and will be explained in the practice session.

To pass the course you are required to get at least get 50% of EACH component (tests and project/challenges).
