Fundamentals of Deep Learning for Computer Vision Training

This workshop teaches deep learning techniques for a range of computer vision tasks through a series of hands-on exercises. You will work with widely-used deep learning tools, frameworks, and workflows to train and deploy neural network models on a fully-configured, GPU-accelerated workstation in the

cloud. After a quick introduction to deep learning, you will advance to: building and deploying deep learning applications for image classification and object detection, modifying your neural networks to improve their accuracy and performance, and implementing the workflow you have learned on a final project.

At the end of the workshop, you will have access to additional resources to create new deep learning applications on your own.

Familiarity with programming fundamentals such as functions and variables

At the conclusion of the workshop, you will have an understanding of the fundamentals of deep learning and be able to:

Implement common deep learning workflows, such as image classification and object detection.
Experiment with data, training parameters, network structure, and other strategies to increase performance and capability of neural networks.
Integrate and deploy neural networks in your own applications to start solving sophisticated real-world problems.
