WASP AI Deep learning and GANs VT21

WASP AI Deep learning and GANs VT21

Course goals

In the first course module, we aim to ensure that all students understand the basic concepts and tools in deep learning.

The second course module addresses that learning from data is becoming increasingly important in many different engineering fields. Models for learning often rely heavily on optimization; training a machine is often equivalent solving a specific optimization problem. These problems are typically of large-scale. In the second module, we will learn how to solve such problems efficiently.

The third course module contains research-oriented topics, knowledge of which will be useful in various PhD projects within WASP. This module contains three different topics.

Organization

The course is offered in spring 2021 and organized into three different modules:

  • Module 1: 13-14 April, Chalmers
  • Module 2: 18-19 May, Lund university
  • Module 3: 14-15 June, KTH

Note that all modules are given online and that we do not expect you to travel.

Canvas access

If you have registered for the course you should get a Canvas account in the coming days. The course page and most material is open for all, but to hand in assignments and to take quizzes you need to be able to login.

If you are an external user (non KTH), be sure to use this url to login: https://kth.instructure.com/login/canvas. If you don't know your password you can get a new one by clicking "Glömt Lösenord" at that page.
