CONTENT SUMMARY

INTRODUCTION

Traditional machine learning techniques have been commonly used in various applications. Over the last few years, many researchers have shifted from traditional machine learning to deep learning techniques due to their promising applications. The course will start with an overview of traditional machine learning techniques. It will then introduce the basic principles of deep neural and convolutional neural networks (CNN) along with some of the well-known architectures that have been developed. Examples of deep learning applications from various fields will be presented through case studies where participants will practically implement in Python developed algorithms. Keynotes that go in details in particular areas will be presented. Some challenges and directions will be highlighted.
