Welcome to the Deep Learning Lab, a joint teaching effort of the Robot Learning (RL), Neurorobotics (NR), Computer Vision (CV) and Machine Learning (ML) Labs. Deep learning has brought a revolution to AI research. A good understanding of the principles of deep networks and experience in training them has become one of the main assets for successful research and development of new technology in machine learning, computer vision, and robotics. In this course, we will teach students the practical knowledge that is needed to do research with deep learning, imitation learning, and reinforcement learning. This course consists of a mixture of lectures, exercises, and group projects. The course is divided into four tracks that focus on different aspects of deep learning research. Please register for only one of the tracks mentioned below:

Track 1: Robot Learning (11LE13P-7321)
Track 2: Neurorobotics (11LE13P-7320)
Track 3: Computer Vision (11LE13P-7305)
Track 4: Automated Machine Learning (11LE13P-7312)
