Demystifying Deep Learning: A practical approach in MATALB
In this seminar, we’ll demonstrate new MATLAB features that simplify these tasks and eliminate the low-level programming. In doing so, we’ll decipher practical knowledge of the domain of deep learning. We’ll build and train neural networks that recognize handwriting, classify food in a scene, and figure out the drivable area in a city environment.
Along the way, you’ll see MATLAB features that make it easy to:
Manage extremely large sets of images
-
Visualize networks and gain insight into the black box nature of deep networks
-
Perform classification and pixel-level semantic segmentation on images
-
Import training data sets from networks such as GoogLeNet and ResNet
-
Import and use pre-trained models from TensorFlow and Caffe
-
Speed up network training with parallel computing on a cluster
-
Automate manual effort required to label ground truth
-
Automatically convert a model to CUDA to run on GPUs
