This course will focus on teaching the inner workings of deep neural networks and provide guidance on their application through practical examples using TensorFlow and Keras.
-Attendance is mandatory and any student who does not attend at least 90% of the meetings will fail the course automatically. All classes will be online.
-The grade will be based on attendance and class participation (40%) and small practices (60%).
-A missed class can be made up if the student conducts a self-study of the material and presents a summary of it to the instructor.
We will use open-source tools only. Python 3.7.X. will be used with the modules TensorFlow and Keras, in addition to those used in the previous course.
