This class introduces the concepts and practices of deep learning. The course consists of three parts. In the first part, we give a quick introduction to classical machine learning and review some key concepts required to understand deep learning. In the second part, we discuss how deep learning differs from classical machine learning and explain why it is effective in dealing with complex problems such as image and natural language processing. Various CNN and RNN models will be covered. In the third part, we introduce deep reinforcement learning and its applications.
This course also gives coding labs. We will use Python 3 as the main programming language throughout the course. Some popular machine learning libraries such as Scikit-learn and Tensorflow 2.0 will be used and explained in details.

This lab guides you through the setup of scientific Python environment and provides useful references for self-reading.
Span & Linear Dependence | Norms | Eigendecomposition | Singular Value Decomposition | Traces & Determinant
This lab guides you through the process of Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) and discuss how you can leverage the Principle Component Analysis (PCA) to visualize and understand high-dimensional data.
Random Variables & Probability Distributions | Multivariate & Derived Random Variables | Bayes’ Rule & Statistics | Principal Components Analysis | Technical Details of Random Variables | Common Probability Distributions | Common Parametrizing Functions | Information Theory | Decision Trees & Random Forest
In this lab, we will apply the Decision Tree and Random Forest algorithms to the classification and dimension reduction problems using the Wine dataset.
Numerical Computation | Optimization Problems | Gradient Descent | Newton's Method | Stochastic Gradient Descent | Perceptron | Adaline | Constrained Optimization | Linear & Polynomial Regression | Generalizability & Regularization | Duality
In this lab, we will guide you through the implementation of Perceptron and Adaline, two of the first machine learning algorithms for the classification problem. We will also discuss how to train these models using the optimization techniques.
This lab guides you through the linear and polynomial regression using the Housing dataset. We will also extend the Decision Tree and Random Forest classifiers to solve the regression problem.
