The NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute (DLI) and Research Software Engineering Sheffield (RSES) are excited to deliver a hands-on deep learning workshop, exclusively for verifiable academic students, staff, and researchers. The workshop will be held in Computer Room 4 (Room 2.06) on the 2nd floor of the Diamond building.

In this full-day introductory workshop, you’ll learn the basics of deep learning by training and deploying neural networks. You’ll learn how to:

• Implement common deep learning workflows, such as image classification and object detection.

• Experiment with data, training parameters, network structure, and other strategies to increase performance and capability.

• Deploy your neural networks to start solving real-world problems.

Upon completion, you’ll be able to start solving problems on your own with deep learning.
