Learning activities and teaching methods
Monological explanation (lecture, presentation,briefing), Self-study (text study, reading, problematic tasks, practical tasks, experiments, research, written assignments)
  • Class attendance - 56 hours per semester
  • Home preparation for classes - 64 hours per semester
  • Preparation for exam - 30 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
The class will focus on deep learning with neural newtorks (NN), currently a hot topic in machine learning and artificial intelligence. Students will learn both theoretic fundamentals of NNs as well as their real world applications such as object detection and recognition in computer vision or automatic language translation.
Theoretic piece of knowledge and practical skills from requered areas.
Prerequisites
The prerequisite is the completion of the subject Introduction to Machine Learning (USU).

Assessment methods and criteria
Combined examination

Students are required to complete all mandatory assignments.
