Masterpraktikum, Deep Learning Lab

Welcome to the Deep Learning Lab a joint teaching effort of the Robotics (R), Computer Vision (CV), Machine Learning (ML) and Neurorobotics (NR) Labs.
Deep learning has brought a revolution to AI research. A good understanding of the principles of deep networks and experience in training them has become one of the main assets for successful research and development of new technology in machine learning, computer vision, and robotics. In this course, we want to teach students the practical knowledge that is needed to do research with deep learning and reinforcement learning. The course is divided into two main tracks that focus on different aspects of deep learning research.

Track 1: Robotics and Reinforcement Learning (R/NR). 11LE13P-7302 and 11LE13P-7320.
Track 2: Computer Vision and Automated Machine Learning (CV/ML). 11LE13P-7305, 11LE13P-530-15 and 11LE13P-7312.
