This workshop teaches you to apply deep learning techniques to a wide range of computer vision tasks through a series of hands-on exercises. You will get to work with widely-used deep learning tools, frameworks, and workflows by performing neural network training and deployment on a fully-configured GPU accelerated workstation in the cloud. After a quick introduction to deep learning to start the course, you will advance to building and deploying deep learning applications for image classification and object detection, followed by modifying the applications to improve their accuracy and performance, and finish by implementing the workflow that 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.
- Duration: 8 hours
