CS 58700 - Foundations Of Deep Learning
Credit Hours: 3.00. This course provides an integrated view of the key concepts of deep learning (representation learning) methods. This course focuses on teaching principles and methods needed to design and deploy novel deep learning models, emphasizing the relationship between traditional statistical models, causality, invariant theory, and the algorithmic challenges of designing and deploying deep learning models in real-world applications. This course has both a theoretical and coding component. The course assumes familiarity with coding in the language used for state-of-the-art deep learning libraries, linear algebra, probability theory, and statistical machine learning.
