CS231n: Deep Learning for Computer Vision Stanford University Spring 2022 This is a deep-dive into the details of deep learning architectures for visual recognition tasks. The course provides students with the ability to implement, train their own neural networks and understand state-of-the-art computer vision research. It requires Python proficiency and familiarity with calculus, linear algebra, probability, and statistics. Computer Vision has become ubiquitous in our society, with applications in search, image understanding, apps, mapping, medicine, drones, and self-driving cars. Core to many of these applications are visual recognition tasks such as image classification, localization and detection. Recent developments in neural network (aka “deep learning”) approaches have greatly advanced the performance of these state-of-the-art visual recognition systems. This course is a deep dive into the details of deep learning architectures with a focus on learning end-to-end models for these tasks, particularly image classification. During the 10-week course, students will learn to implement and train their own neural networks and gain a detailed understanding of cutting-edge research in computer vision. Additionally, the final assignment will give them the opportunity to train and apply multi-million parameter networks on real-world vision problems of their choice. Through multiple hands-on assignments and the final course project, students will acquire the toolset for setting up deep learning tasks and practical engineering tricks for training and fine-tuning deep neural networks.  - Proficiency in Python  
    All class assignments will be in Python (and use numpy) (we provide a tutorial [here](http://cs231n.github.io/python-numpy-tutorial/) for those who aren't as familiar with Python). If you have a lot of programming experience but in a different language (e.g. C/C++/Matlab/Javascript) you will probably be fine.
- College Calculus, Linear Algebra (e.g. MATH 19 or 41, MATH 51)  
     You should be comfortable taking derivatives and understanding matrix vector operations and notation.
- Basic Probability and Statistics (e.g. CS 109 or other stats course)  
    You should know basics of probabilities, gaussian distributions, mean, standard deviation, etc.

CSCI 1470/2470 Deep Learning Brown University Spring 2022 Brown University's Deep Learning course acquaints students with the transformative capabilities of deep neural networks in computer vision, NLP, and reinforcement learning. Using the TensorFlow framework, topics like CNNs, RNNs, deepfakes, and reinforcement learning are addressed, with an emphasis on ethical applications and potential societal impacts. Over the past few years, Deep Learning has become a popular area, with deep neural network methods obtaining state-of-the-art results on applications in computer vision (Self-Driving Cars), natural language processing (Google Translate), and reinforcement learning (AlphaGo). These technologies are having transformative effects on our society, including some undesirable ones (e.g. deep fakes).

This course is there to give students a practical understanding of how Deep Learning works, how to implement neural networks, and how to apply them ethically. We introduce students to the core concepts of deep neural networks and survey the techniques used to model complex processes within the contexts of computer vision and natural language processing.

Throughout the course, we emphasize and require students to think critically about potential ethical pitfalls that can result from mis-application of these powerful models. The course is taught using the Tensorflow deep learning framework.
 By the end of this course, you will be able to:

- Learn about the fundamental algorithms that underly all modern deep learning models.
- Implement different types of deep learning models in Tensorflow.
- Think critically about using a deep learning model for a task and its potential societal impact.
- Collaborate with classmates on a team project to apply deep learning models to task of your
choice.
- Communicate your findings (both positive and negative results are encouraged) through pre-
sentations. - A basic programming course: (CSCI 0150, 0170 or 0190)
- A linear algebra course: (CSCI 0530, MATH 0520 or 0540)
- A stats / probability course: (CSCI 0220, 1450, 0450, MATH 1610, APMA 1650 or 1655)

Exceptions may be possible for those missing one of these prerequisites if (a) the student has taken
another course which covers similar material, or if (b) the student will be concurrently taking the
prerequisite. If either of these situations applies to you, use the “Request Override” feature in
Courses@Brown to request an override code (and explain why you believe your situation merits
one). ### Textbook

None required. Students are encouraged to refer to the following textbook, which is available online:
