Deep Learning Lecture Notes and Experiments

2022 Version (Latest)

Welcome to the 2022 version of the Deep Learning course. We made major changes in the coverage and delivery of this course to reflect the recent advances in the field.

Install

Assuming you already have anaconda or venv, install the required python packages to run the experiments in this version.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Coverage:

What is new in 2022 version:

1. Emphasis on tools to use and deploy deep learning models. In the past, we learn how to build and train models to perform certain tasks. However, often times we want to use a pre-trained model for immediate deployment. testing or demonstration. Hence, we will use tools such as huggingface, gradio and streamlit in our discussions.
2. Emphasis on understanding deep learning building blocks. The ability to build, train, and test models is important. However, when we want to optimize and deploy a deep learning model on a new hardware or run it on production, we need an in-depth understanding of the code implementation of our algorithms. Hence, there will be an emphasis on low-level algorithms and their code implementations.
3. Emphasis on practical applications. Deep learning can do a lot more than recognition. Hence, we will highlight practical applications in vision (detection, segmentation), speech (ASR, TTS), and text (sentiment, summarization).
4. Various levels of abstraction. We will present deep learning concepts from low-level numpy and einops, to a mid-level frameworks such as PyTorch, and to high-level APIs such as huggingface, gradio and streamlit. This enables us to use deep learning principles depending on the problem constraints.
5. Emphasis on individual presentation of assignments, machine exercises, and projects. Online learning is hard. To maximize student learning, this course focuses on the exchange of ideas to ensure individual student progress.
