Description
This course enables students to create sophisticated projects using images by leveraging the advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Deep Learning/Neural Networks. Building upon concepts learned from Introduction to Deep Learning, they will further learn how powerful Neural Networks like Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Transfer Learning work. They will also learn how to tune and optimize neural networks. This course is ideal for high school students who want to use AI on images for innovative science projects, for those who want to build systems using computer vision and cameras, or anyone who wants to learn image classification using deep neural networks.
What students will do:
• Learn special types of Neural Networks, particularly Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Residual Neural Networks (ResNet)
• Employ established patterns of these networks to build powerful image detection applications
• Gain expertise on how to tune Neural Networks and tuning parameters such as learning rate, numbers of layers, epochs and others.
• An introduction to Transfer Learning and how to use it effectively
• An introduction to GPUs and how GPUs help accelerate neural network training
• The students will build a custom project of their choice (note - if they are interested in participating in a competition, they are welcome to bring their project in for this class).
• Natural Images: Example, Category detection (Dog vs Cat etc). Emotion detection (Happy vs Sad).
• Scientific applications using medical images: example Cancer detection from histopathology images, diabetes detection from retinal images.
• Game applications using synthetic Images: Category detection (type of emoji etc).
• Use the same industry cloud tools that businesses and experts do (we heavily use Amazon Web Services AI tools), We show you how to use them easily. You can use the same tools as you do more classes.
Prerequisites
• Bring your own Laptop to class
• You can do the project in any language you like.
• Course in Introductory Algebra
What Students Take Away
• A working image classification project (running application) that you can showcase and share.
• Training in usage of deep neural networks using powerful cloud tools.
• A Navigator account which you can use for future AI projects and competitions.
• Certificate of Completion
Schedule
Duration: 4 weeks / 1.5 hours per session
We offer a range of dates and times to accommodate busy schedules.
Also - note that since we use entirely online tools, if a student must miss a class, it is easy for them to do the required work at home. We provide materials for missed classes and drop in times for students to come in for personal assistance on material covered in a missed class. We do ask however that the student attend the first and last class since this is needed for them to get oriented and also complete their custom project.
