Course Description
The course helps to understand the fundamentals of Deep Learning. The course starts off gradually with multi-layer preceptrons and it progresses into the more complicated concepts such as attention and sequence-to-sequence models. This course also covers other models of deep learning such as convolutional neural networks, recurrent neural networks, deep generative models such as autoregressive, GAN, VAE, NFM, representation learning, and deep reinforcement learning methods. We use frameworks such as PyTorch and Tensorflow, which are very important for implementing deep Learning models.
