Hands-on MATLAB Workshop

Tuesday, October 9, 12:10 - 14:10, Kokkali Room

Deep learning has rapidly evolved over the past decade and is now being used in fields varying from autonomous systems to medical image processing. This tutorial will cover practical applications of deep learning in image processing and computer vision. In this interactive hands-on workshop you will access a MATLAB-session through a browser to write code to:

1. Learn the fundamentals of deep learning and understand terms like “layers”, “networks”, and “loss”
2. Graphically build a deep neural networks
3. Access models from TensorFlow, Caffe and PyTorch in MATLAB
4. Automate labeling of ground truth for semantic segmentation, object detection and image classification
5. Apply deep learning for image processing tasks including image denoising and super-resolution
6. Create a deep learning model for semantic segmentation and object detection

Session details and registrations can be found at www.mathworks.com/ICIP2018Workshop.

This is an interactive hands-on session, instructors will provide access to MATLAB along with training data and scripts via a browser. Please carry your own laptop for the session. Contact Avinash Nehemiah for more information.
