NVIDIA Deep Learning Workshop

OSC is hosting a Deep Learning Workshop by NVIDIA on Wednesday, November 8, 1 - 4 p.m. in BALE Theatre at OSC, 1224 Kinnear Rd, Columbus, OH 43212.

The workshop will consist of two lab sessions. The first lab session, “Applications of Deep Learning with Caffe, Theano and Torch” will introduce the rapidly developing technology of deep learning accelerated with graphical processing units (GPUs) and is intended for anyone looking for a fundamental understanding of deep learning.

Attendees will learn about the concept of deep learning, how the growth of deep learning has improved machine perception tasks and how to choose a software framework that best suits their needs. Caffe, Theano and Torch are prominent machine and deep learning codes.

The second lab session, “Image Classification with NVIDIA DIGITS” will teach attendees how to leverage deep neural networks within the deep learning workflow to solve a real-world image classification problem.

Attendees will learn how to create a deep neural network to run on a GPU, manage the process of data preparation, model definition, model training and troubleshooting, and use validation data to test and try different strategies for improving model performance. Upon completion of this lab, attendees will be able to use the NVIDIA DIGITS software to create, train, evaluate and enhance the accuracy of conventional neural networks on their own image classification application.

Please bring your own laptop to particiapte in the exercises. An OSC account is not required.

Registration for this event is closed.
