Additional Webinar Course on Convolutional Neural Networks – Examples and Best Practices

25 October 2018 at 10:00 AM Peru time (17:00 Italy time and 18:00 Romania time), Liviu Stefan and Gabriel Constantin (UPB) will conduct a webinar on Convolutional Neural Networks – Examples and Best Practices.

It will focus on presenting some practical aspects of Convolutional Neural Networks. Firstly, it is going to explore the architecture of MobileNet, a small yet powerful Convolutional Neural Network, addressing the core layers and exploring the trade-off between the number of parameters and accuracy. Secondly, it is going to present a guide to several methods for improving the training results and output accuracy of Convolutional Neural Networks, exploring concepts regarding network tuning, data augmentation and other interesting methods. Several practical code examples will be analyzed.
