OverviewLearn how to train and deploy a neural network to solve real-world problems, how to generate effective descriptions of content within images and video clips and how to accelerate your applications with OpenACC. The workshop combines lectures about Fundamentals of Deep Learning for Computer Vision and Multiple Data Types with a lecture about Accelerated Computing with OpenACC. The lectures are interleaved with many hands-on sessions using Jupyter Notebooks. The exercises will be done on a fully configured GPU-accelerated workstation in the cloud. Program (preliminary)1st day: Fundamentals of Deep Learning for Computer Vision (9:00 - 18:00, Dr. Juan Durillo Barrionuevo) Explore the fundamentals of deep learning by training neural networks and using results to improve performance and capabilities. During this day, you’ll learn the basics of deep learning by training and deploying neural networks. You’ll learn how to:
Upon completion, you’ll be able to start solving problems on your own with deep learning. 2nd day: Fundamentals of Deep Learning for Multiple Data Types (9:00 - 18:00, Dr. Juan Durillo Barrionuevo) This day explores how convolutional and recurrent neural networks can be combined to generate effective descriptions of content within images and video clips. Learn how to train a network using TensorFlow and the Microsoft Common Objects in Context (COCO) dataset to generate captions from images and video by:
Upon completion, you’ll be able to solve deep learning problems that require multiple types of data inputs. 3rd day: Guest Lecture & Fundamentals of Accelerated Computing with OpenACC (9:00 - 18:00) On the 3rd day we start with a guest lecture (9:00 - 10:30) about Deep Neural Networks for Data-Driven Turbulence Models, using DL in CFD. In the second part (10:45 - 17:00, by Dr. Volker Weinberg) you learn the basics of OpenACC, a high-level programming language for programming on GPUs. Discover how to accelerate the performance of your applications beyond the limits of CPU-only programming with simple pragmas. You’ll learn:
Upon completion, you'll be ready to use OpenACC to GPU accelerate CPU-only applications. At the end (17:00 - 18:00) we provide an optional tutorial / quick practical recap on Python 3.X (Dr. Lorenzo Zanon) 4th day: ML Examples and Methods on HLRS systems (9:00 - 16:00) On the 4th day we cover Pre-processing of data, mathematical methods and machine learning as well as Deep learning on HLRS Systems.
The first three days are organized in cooperation with LRZ (Germany) and Nvidia. All instructors are NVIDIA certified University Ambassadors. On the last day, you will learn more about data preparation and DL on the systems at HLRS. Important informationAfter you are accepted, please create an account under courses.nvidia.com/join using the same email address as for event registration, since lab access is given based on the event registration list. Please be aware that for adminstrative reasons, after you register, Nvidia will use your email address to contact you for the final feedback of the workshop. Course Fee
NVIDIA Deep Learning InstituteThe NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute delivers hands-on training for developers, data scientists, and engineers. The program is designed to help you get started with training, optimizing, and deploying neural networks to solve real-world problems across diverse industries such as self-driving cars, healthcare, online services, and robotics. |
Prerequisites: |
Technical background, basic understanding of machine learning concepts, basic C/C++ or Fortran programming skills. For the 1st and 4th day basics in Python will be helpful. Since Python is used, the following tutorial can be used to learn the syntax: docs.python.org/2.7/tutorial/index.html For the 2nd day familiarity with TensorFlow will be a plus as all the hands-on sessions are using TensorFlow. For those who do not program in TensorFlow, please go over TensorFlow tutorial (especially the "Learn and use ML" section): www.tensorflow.org/tutorials/ |
Exercises: |
On the first three days, the excercises will be carried out on a cloud system using Jupyter Notebooks. On the last day, the exercises are done on HLRS systems. |
