About

Deep learning is primarily a study of multi-layered neural networks, spanning over a great range of model architectures. This course is taught in the MSc program in Artificial Intelligence of the University of Amsterdam. In this course we study the theory of deep learning, namely of modern, multi-layered neural networks trained on big data. The course focuses particularly on computer vision and language modelling, which are perhaps two of the most recognizable and impressive applications of the deep learning theory. The course is taught by Assistant Professor Efstratios Gavves. The teaching assistants are Kirill Gavrilyuk, Berkay Kicanaoglu, Peter O'Connor and Tom Runia.

Hot Questions

During the course several interesting questions pop up. Instead of having them lost during the lectures, we put here all the questions could be of interest to more people, inside and outside the University of Amsterdam. Although not all questions are going to be immediately answered because of time constraints, the goal is to have the answers online as soon as possible. If you have an interesting question for which you would like an answer, you can always email us.
