Abstract and course content: Neural Network and most notably Deep Learning are getting more and more popular outclassing ad-hoc states of the art methods in Image Processing, Natural Language Processing, Pattern Recognition… In this class, we propose to introduce you to this (not so new) kind of machine learning model.

Lectures (4*1h30) will address the following concepts:

• Introduction to Artificial Neural Networks and basic supervised 
learning model

• Unsupervised learning models such as Auto-Encoders

• Deep Neural Networks and Convolutional Neural Networks

• Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN)

• Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN)

Practical works (4*1h30) will implement the models seen in lectures through Tensorflow/Keras and provide analysis of the learning through Tensorboard/Spyder. A longer project/practical work (2*2h)  will linger on GAN or RNN. 

Computing environment: Persons attending this class are expected to come with their own laptop with Tensorflow/Keras/Tensorboard installed.

Pip packages needed:

spyder numpy scipy matplotlib ipython scikit-learn pandas scikit-image pillow pillow-pil tensorflow tensorflow-tensorboard keras cvxpy cvxopt pykalman pomegranate h5py spyder-terminal

For Linux and Mac OS users, you can follow this procedure:

Add this line at the end of your $HOME/.bashrc file 

export PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH

Login/logout or open a new terminal, and type the following commands

$ wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py

$ python3 get-pip.py --user

$ python3 -m pip install --user -U pip virtualenv pipsi wheel

$ pipsi install --python python3 spyder

$ source ~/.local/venvs/spyder/bin/activate

(spyder) $ pip install -U numpy scipy matplotlib ipython

(spyder) $ pip install -U numpy scipy matplotlib ipython scikit-learn pandas scikit-image pillow pillow-pil tensorflow tensorflow-tensorboard keras cvxpy cvxopt pykalman pomegranate h5py spyder-terminal

(spyder) $ pip install -U spyder

(spyder) $ deactivate

Not tested: It is also possible to install these packages with the Anaconda environment<https://www.anaconda.com>
