DESCRIPTION
This course introduces the student a set of basic tools to solve learning problems with neural networks. The course provides basic schemas for modeling
of problems of different nature, as well as tools for the numerical optimization of the model based on existing data.
PART I: GENERAL CONCEPTS
1. Introduction to neural networks. The multilayer perceptron.
2. Training of a neural network. Calculation of gradients using reverse propagation.
PART II: SUPERVISED LEARNING
3. Supervised learning with deep neural networks. An introductory example.
4. Sequential modeling: recursive neural networks. An introductory example.
PART III: LEARNING NOT SUPERVISED
5. Non-Supervised Learning with deep neural networks. An introductory example.
6. Generative models using deep neural networks.
