Course overview and goals
This course gives an overview of the foundational ideas with some recent advances in image and video recognition. It covers deep neural networks such as convolutional neural networks, region proposal networks, fully convolutional networks and generative adversarial networks. Through lectures and assignments, students will learn the necessary skills to implement their own neural networks.
Course description and aims
At the end of this course, students should be able to
1) explain the basic concepts of image and video recognition, and
2) implement their own network by using deep learning libraries
