Description

This workshop teaches you to apply deep learning techniques for understanding textual input using Natural Language Processing (NLP) through a series of hands-on exercises. You will work with widely-used deep learning tools, frameworks, and workflows by performing neural network training on a fully-configured GPU accelerated workstation in the cloud. The course starts with the technique of training a neural network for text classification followed by building a linguistic style model to extract features from a given text documents and concludes with a neural machine translation model for translating one language to another

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of the workshop, you will have an understanding of:

• Convert text to machine understandable representation and classical approaches
• Implement distributed representations (embeddings) and understand their properties
• Train Machine Translators from one language to another

Content level: Beginner and intermediate

Pre-Requisites: Technical background and a basic understanding of deep learning concepts. You will work on your own laptop – so it is a requirement that you bring one. Also please register to https://nvlabs.qwiklab.com/ before the workshop.

IMPORTANT: To reserve your seat, you MUST register at Eventbrite with a valid university email address and follow the pre-workshop instructions on that registration page.
