Deep Learning Fundamentals is a full-day workshop delivered by Boston Limited on behalf of the NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute (DLI). The DLI provides instructor-led technical training onsite at organizations and events, designed to cover the foundations of deep learning or specific application domains.
The Deep Learning Fundamentals course is a beginner’s course that covers the foundations of deep learning and offers hands-on training in Image Classification, Object Detection, and Neural Network Deployment using popular frameworks. The only pre-requisite is a technical background and basic understanding of deep learning concepts.
This hands-on introduction to deep learning is designed to take a learner from interest to ability. Attendees will train a neural network on a GPU within the first hour and have deployed a high performing network to production by the end of the day.
Throughout the experience, learners will:
- Implement common deep learning workflows such as Image Classification and Object Detection.
- Manipulate how networks learn to improve performance using the DIGITS interface.
- Modify internal layers of neural networks to adapt to new problems using the Caffe framework.
- Deploy open-source and learner-trained networks to start solving real-world problems using pyCaffe and TensorRT.
Dr Anthony Morse is an NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute level 2 instructor and has been delivering CUDA, OpenACC, and Deep Learning workshops on behalf of NVIDIA since 2014. He gained his PhD in Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence from Sussex University in 2006, has been a senior research scientist on multiple large-scale EU projects (ICEA, ITALK, & POETICON), and lectured on a range of topics from machine learning to developmental robotics at the University of Plymouth since 2009.
