About the course Applied Deep Learning with PyTorch, 5 credits
Who is this course for?
This course provides the theoretical and practical aspects of deep neural networks. It is intended for students with a background in computer science and engineering.
What will you learn from this course?
Students will learn about the analysis, design, and programming of deep learning algorithms. The course has two modules: theory and practice. The theoretical content covers basic principles of multi-layer perceptions, spatio-temporal feature extraction with convolutional neural networks (CNNs), and recurrent neural networks (RNNs), classification and regression of big data, and generating novel data samples using generative models. The practical sessions cover the basics of programming with PyTorch. For instance, image classification and semantic segmentation using CNNs, future image frame prediction with RNNs, and image generation with generative adversarial networks.
What is the format for this course?
Instruction type: Teaching is in English and fully online. It consists of lectures, computer exercises, and project work. In the computer exercises, the student solves small problems using deep learning models. After programming various exercises, the participants will develop an advanced deep learning project. Participants will be encouraged to bring their own data. High-end GPU machines can be provided for the exercises and project.
The emergence of artificial intelligence has created a new opportunity to apply machine learning (ML) in industry 4.0. In this era of the Internet of Things and Big data, processing of a large amount of data would not be possible without ML. Thus, ML made industrial production smarter than ever before. So, learn the course “Machine learning for Industry 4.0” to bring in new business models in your company and boost productivity using ML. The course provides knowledge about basics of ML and data, describes ML algorithms and tools and also explains the concept of Industry 4.0 and digitalization in industry 4.0. The individual processes can be better understood and optimized with the help of the knowledge from the course. Also, it could have an important contribution in analysing the industrial data set, improving results, and making decision and/or predictions for failure, demand, sales, and production. This course is a collaboration between Högskolan Väst, Linnéuniversitetet and Mälardalens Högskola. It consist of three course modules: Introduction to Machine Learning (MDH – 2 credits, Basic level), Industry Digitalization – Industry 4.0 (HV – 2,5 credits, Advanced level), Applied Machine Learning (LNU – 3 credits, Advanced level). Students who pass all three courses will receive a diploma from Learning for Professionals.
Today, the explosion of data has created new opportunities to apply machine learning (ML). Handling of the large amounts of data created by the very rapid digitization would not be possible without Machine Learning (ML). The purpose of the course "Introduction to Machine Learning" is to give you the foundation for ML. You will get an introduction to the basic areas of ML: data, statistics and probability for ML.
This course will teach you how to build convolutional neural networks. You will learn to design intelligent systems using deep learning for classification, annotation, and object recognition.
The rapid development of digital technologies and advances in communications have led to gigantic amounts of data with complex structures called ‘Big data’ being produced every day at exponential growth. The aim of this course is to give the student insights in fundamental concepts of machine learning with big data as well as recent research trends in the domain. The student will learn about problems and industrial challenges through domain-based case studies. Furthermore, the student will learn to use tools to develop systems using machine-learning algorithms in big data.
The course will give insights in fundamental concepts of machine learning and actionable forecasting using predictive analytics. It will cover the key concepts to extract useful information and knowledge from big data sets for analytical modeling
Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a type of machine learning technique that enables an agent to learn in an interactive environment by trial and error using feedback from its own actions and experiences. The course is part of the education initiative Smarter at Örebro University. Read more
