Course contents
Deep Learning, a subfield of machine learning, has in recent years achieved state-of-the-art performance for tasks such as image classification, object detection and natural language processing. This course will study recent deep learning methodology such as e.g. convolutional neural networks, autoencoders and recurrent neural networks, will discuss recent advances in the field, and will provide the students with the required background to implement, train and debug these models. There will be a significant practical component, where students will gain hands-on experience. The course will in addition to deep learning algorithms contain elements of image processing, pattern recognition and statistics.
Application deadline
Applicants from Nordic countries: 1 June for the autumn semester and 1 December for the spring semester. Exchange students and Fulbright students: 1 October for the spring semester and 15 April for the autumn semester.
Admission requirements
Admission requirements are a Bachelor's degree in physics or similar education, including specialization in physics worth the equivalent of not less than 80 ECTS credits. Local admission, application code 9371 - singular course at Master's level.
