Event description:
DL Bootcamp has two stages:
Introduction to DL – for students with little or no DL background. (July 7rd - 11th)
Advanced specific topics – for those who already know DL or participated in part 1. (July 14th -18th)
The core features of our bootcamp:
Lectures given by PhD experts in the field
Theoretical and practical materials. Both presented in intuitive and easy-to-follow manner, giving you all the necessary information to apply deep learning in your own projects
Beginner-friendly (you can join even if you have zero experience in deep learning)
Discord server with all participants and mentors
No matter if you want to do research work or industry work in the future, you can learn all the necessary skills here
Hybrid Format: lessons on campus and Zoom. All lessons will be recorded
Free, no grade, no credits — no stress self-development
LauzHack participation certificate will be given to all participants
Topics:
Introduction: PyTorch, Deep Learning concept, Datasets, Optimizers, Schedulers, Loss Functions, FC, CNN, RNN, Transformer, Experiment tracking (WandB)
Advanced weeks: Deep Learning for Audio (includes VAE, GANs and Diffusion), TBA (send us your requests)
Guests' Material: TBA
Prerequisites:
Python knowledge: Classes, functions, for-loops, etc.
NumPy would be helpful. Have a look at this lab from COM-202 course to get familiar with the basics. You can also check some of the PyTorch basics here, however, we will go through them.
Lessons format:
Lectures: theory, task description, model architectures, core algorithms for the specific topic, etc.
Seminars: practice, jupyter notebook which will be filled during the class with the mentor, shows how theory looks in practice
Time Schedule:
From 18:00 to 20:00 (may be changed). Monday-Friday. The schedule for each week: will be available in the pinned message on Discord
