| Description |
This course will cover several deep learning algorithms. You will learn about Convolutional networks, RNNs, LSTM, Adam, Dropout, BatchNorm, Xavier/He initialization, GenAI, Reinforcement Learning amongst other subjects. We will discuss theoretical properties of the methods, their practical implementation using a suitable programming language (e.g. Python). This course relates to several application areas where business problems are supported using systematic data analysis.
