Fall 2018 Training Schedule
1. October 24,2018: Introduction to Deep Learning
| Topic | Introduction to Deep Learning |
| Date | October 24,2018 |
| Time | 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM |
| Place | 307 Frey |
| Description | Deep learning, as part of the family of machine learning methods, is a powerful tool to learn robust and complex features directly from data without domain-specific knowledge. It has shown great success recently in various fields such as computer vision, natural language processing and speech recognition. In this tutorial we will start with fundamental machine learning concepts followed by introduction of deep neural network models, we will then demonstrate how to develop a deep learning model to achieve near state of the art performance on the MNIST handwritten digit recognition task on LONI QB2 cluster. Existing deep learning software frameworks such as Keras/Tensorflow/PyTorch/Caffe will also be covered during the training. The hands-on examples will be demonstrated on the LONI QB2 cluster Prerequisites

HPC Training Survey
We value your feedback, and will use your feedback to help improve our HPC training offerings. Please complete a short survey at the end of each training using this link.
Virtual Images
For benefit of Training particpants who do not have ready access to a Linux machine, we have created a virtual image of CentOS 6.3. You can use this image in lieu of a LONI or LSU HPC account for some, but not all of our training courses. More details about this image and installation instructions are provided here
