About This Workshop
This workshop explores how convolution and recurrent neural networks can be combined to generate effective descriptions of content within images and video clips.
Learn how to train a network using TensorFlow and the Microsoft Common Objects in Context (COCO) dataset to generate captions from images and video by:
- Implementing Deep Learning workflows like image segmentation and text generation
- Comparing and contrasting data types, workflows, and frameworks
- Combining computer vision and natural language processing
Upon completion, you’ll be able to solve problems that require multiple types of data inputs. You will receive a Fundamentals certificate from Institute!
Attendees MUST bring their own laptops.

Detailed Course Outline
Components | Description | |
---|---|---|
Introduction |
|
Introduction to , situations in which it is useful, key terminology, industry trends, and challenges. |
Image Segmentation with TensorFlow |
|
Hands-on exercise: Segment MRI images to measure parts of the heart using tools such as TensorBoard and the TensorFlow Python API. |
Word Generation with TensorFlow |
|
Hands-on exercise: a Recurrent Neural Network to understand both images and text, and to predict the next word of a sentence using the MSCOCO (Microsoft Common Objects in Context) dataset. |
Image and Video Captioning |
|
Hands-on exercise: Train a model that generates a description of an image from raw pixel data by combining outputs of multiple networks (CNNs and RNNs) through concatenation and/or averaging. |
