This course gives an introduction to neural networks and deep learning. The emphasis lies on acquiring a conceptual understanding of the current state of the art, and implementing these methods with the Tensorflow and Keras software libraries. The student implements two small and one large machine learning projects. The following things are covered: - History of machine learning and deep learning. - Mathematical concepts of neural networks. - Fundamental concepts in machine learning: choice of loss function, feature engineering, overfitting, ... - Best practices for practical implementations: hyperparameter optimization, model ensembling, ... - Convolutional neural networks. Applied to image data, both for classification and segmentation. - Recurrent neural networks applied to time series data. - The Keras and Tensorflow software libraries, including more advanced techniques such as the functional API, callbacks, and Tensorboard.
