Intro to Deep Learning: An Introduction to Neural Networks

Thursday, September 16, 2021

11:00 am - 12:00 pm

About the Event

In this session, Michaela Buchanan, data scientist, will cover the basics of what Deep Learning is, look at how it fits within the AI/ML universe, dive into neural networks (including CNNs, LSTMs, and GANs), and walk through a typical Deep Learning project lifecycle.

We’ll cap the session with a 20-minute rapid mini-workshop where we’ll use an example dataset (CIFAR-10) to train and evaluate a neural network model using Keras.
