Course objectives
Today's the most successful branch of machine learning is loosely inspired by brain neurophysiology to design "neuronal" algorithms capable of learning by example, generalizing knowledge, and finding approximate solutions to difficult problems. These algorithms are typically run on graphics card farms (GPUs) today. The most common applications include classification tasks, image analysis and recognition, comprehension and text generation, or strategic decision making.
Learning outcomes
The student will get acquainted with the basic mathematical and structural principles of deep learning. Will be able to design and test deep learning networks for a variety of tasks such as classification, image analysis, comprehension and text generation, or strategic decision making.
Syllabus
  • 1. Motivation and principles. Mathematical model of a neuron. The ability of UNS to learn from examples and generalize learned data. Active, adaptive and organizational dynamics, types of training. Loss function and its role in network training. Overfitting and underfitting.
  • 2. Perceptron - a basic model of a neural network for supervised learning. Minimization of loss function, use of gradient methods. Backpropagation algorithm, description and mathematical derivation.
  • 3. Hyperparameters, regularization, optimizers to increase the speed of training and to improve the quality of the training results.
  • 4. Convolutional networks for computer vision - principles, graphical representation, recent results. Deep architectures with special types of layers: convolutional layers and max-pooling layers.
  • 5. Recurrent networks for sequence data - texts, sequences of images (video), music recordings and the like. Principle of recurrent network layers, unrolling in time. Special layer types: LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) and GRU (Gated Recurrent Unit).
