About the course
Deep learning is a branch of machine learning
that is particularly suitable for solving
non-linear recognition problems
in the field of artificial intelligence.
Deep learning maps input data into complex representations
through a composition of learned nonlinear transformations.
These methods find their application in challenging tasks
where the dimensionality of data is extremely large:
computer vision, natural language processing or speech comprehension.
This course introduces the most important
discriminative approaches with special emphasis on practical implementations.

Exams
A successful completion of the lab exercises
is a prerequisite for taking the exam.
Please send us an e-mail as soon as you complete
any of the lab exercises in order to take
the lab assessment.
Our exams typically consist of
12 short theoretical questions
(you need to choose a corect answer, 30% points)
and 5-6 problems (70% points).
To get a feeling on how the problems might look like,
please have a look at our previous exams listed below.
