Deep Learning Fundamentals (en)
This course offers a deep immersion in the field of Deep Learning, with an emphasis on the practical and experimental aspect. Students will have the opportunity to explore the fundamental concepts of neurons, neural layers, and neural network architectures, as well as learn techniques for the design, training and optimization of both simple and complex neural networks.
During the course, hands-on projects such as handwritten digit recognition (MNIST) and multiclass classification will be addressed, giving students the opportunity to apply their knowledge in real-world contexts. In addition, the course will explore crucial topics such as ReLU activations, Softmax and the importance of model performance evaluation. Special attention will also be paid to understanding and managing bias in Deep Learning models.
