Event Details
LSU along with NVIDIA are pleased to offer a GPU Deep Learning workshop on May 31 - June 1, 2017 in Business Education Complex, Room 1615 at LSU, Baton Rouge, LA.
Attend to learn the latest techniques on how to design, train, and deploy neural network-powered machine learning in your applications. You’ll explore widely used open-source frameworks running on NVIDIA’s latest GPU-accelerated deep learning platforms.
Why you should attend
NVIDIA GPUs are the world's fastest and most efficient accelerators delivering world record application performance. This Deep Learning workshop will introduce students to GPU Accelerated Frameworks such as Caffe, Google TensorFlow, Python and Torch using a Hands-on lab approach. After the course, researchers will be able to use Deep Learning to help solve many big data problems such as computer vision, speech recognition, and natural language processing. Practical examples include:
- Vehicle, pedestrian and landmark identification for driver assistance
- Image recognition
- Speech recognition and translation
- Natural language processing
- Life sciences
Who it's for:
Undergraduate/Graduate students, Postdocs, Researchers, Data Scientists and Professors
Date and Time:
Wednesday 5/31, 8:30 am – 4:00 pm and Thursday 6/1, 8:30 am – 4:00 pm
Location:
Business Education Complex 1615, Louisiana State University, 4005 Nicholson Drive Ext, Baton Rouge, LA 70803
