Topic Outline

  • History of neural networks and what makes deep learning different from “classic machine learning”
  • Introduction to the concept of neural networks by connecting it to familiar concepts such as logistic regression and multinomial logistic regression (which can be seen as special cases: single-layer neural nets)
  • Modeling and deriving non-convex loss function through computation graphs
  • Introduction to automatic differentiation and PyTorch for efficient data manipulation using GPUs
  • Convolutional neural networks for image analysis
  • 1D convolutions for sequence analysis
  • Sequence analysis with recurrent neural networks
  • Generative models to sample from input distributions
    • Autoencoders
    • Variational autoencoders
    • Generative Adversarial Networks
