The course will describe the theory and practice of deep Neural Networks, otherwise known as Deep Learning, with a particular emphasis on their use in Image Processing and Computer Vision.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:
- Describe and apply the theory of convolutional neural networks and the universal approximation theorem
- Apply the theory of training a convolutional neural network.
- Design and train neural networks to mimic simple logical operations and solve simple applications of such logical problems.
- Competently use major software tools in the area of deep neural networks including matconvnet and a matlab based tool for deep learning.
- Apply programming and software tools to solve realistic problems of image processing using deep neural networks.
- Write programs to design and test neural networks when applied to complex logical tasks.
- Research an area of image processing and apply deep neural network methods to a problem in that area.
