SYNOPSIS

Deep Learning is a branch of Artificial Intelligence. It is generally associated with neural networks, this discipline has been thoroughly studied this very last years thanks to contemporary computing facilities. Its common applications deals with image and language processing: shape or face recognition, automatic translation, text or music generation, and so on…

Several technical solutions exist in order to apply the related algorithms. This training will allow participants to be familiar with one of them, i.e. TensorFlow, and its major features.

After a presentation of neural networks and their interest in artificial intelligence context, participants will build their own neural networks by the use of the Python TensorFlow library. Although different applications exist, this training will focus on convolutional neural networks, which aim at extracting information from images.

An important part of the training is dedicated to practice, so as to enhance the participant autonomy.
