Description

This hands-on course will take you from 0 to 100 in Deep Learning with Keras. Our aim is to teach the fundamentals of deep learning with Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) based on modern techniques using the Keras API and the Tensorflow backend. By the end participants will know how to build deep learning models, how to train them, what to avoid during training, what to check during training and how to perform model inference, especially for image based problems. We hope participants will then go out and apply these methods to their own problems and use cases.

The core curriculum is planned from Tuesday (August 22) to Thursday night (August 24) to take place at the MPI CBG campus, Dresden, Germany. As the agenda is currently being prepared please check-in from time to time. There is the latent plan to have voluntary session before (introduction to python) and after the workshop (hackday to work on the challenges you have). This is why the workshop currently blocks the entire week.

All participants are expected to bring their laptop. During the workshop, a uniform access to GPU-enabled workstations or servers will be provided that hold the software stack used. Thus, your laptop is not required to hold a mobile GPU or alike. All participants are expected to have a solid understanding of fundamentals of linear algebra as well as programming.

The workshop admission fee amounts to € 100 per participant. Every successfull applicant is required to bring a poster to the workshop that describes their current scientific challenge that they would like to solve with Deep Learning. Posters have to be sent in 1 week prior to the workshop. 

As part of the workshop, Google engineers will join us to demonstrate using the Google cloud for deep learning with tensorflow. This event is open to anyone interested, but admission is only allowed after registraton here: https://indico.mpi-cbg.de/event/68/.

We have a slack channel for asynchronous and offline communication. Feel free to join in through this link. We are also on twitter, if you want to chime in use  #DLBC17 .

      If you want to sign up for the qwiklab exercises yourself, please create an account here: https://nvlabs.qwiklab.com/ This lab shows you how to leverage deep neural networks (DNN) - specifically convolutional neural networks (CNN) - within the deep learning workflow to solve a real-world image classification problem using NVIDIA DIGITS on top of the Caffe framework and the MNIST hand-written digits dataset. In this lab, you will learn how to: - Architect a Deep Neural Network to run on a GPU - Manage the process of data preparation, model definition, model training and troubleshooting - Use validation data to test and try different strategies for improving model performance On completion of this lab, you will be able to use NVIDIA DIGITS to architect, train, evaluate and enhance the accuracy of CNNs on your own image classification application.
