PIMS CRG Summer School: Deep Learning for Computational Mathematics
- Start Date: 07/22/2019
- End Date: 07/25/2019
Simon Fraser University
The purpose of this summer school is to introduce students in applied and computational mathematics to neural networks and deep learning. It will feature three days of lectures and hands-on tutorials, and be followed by a one-day workshop showcasing current research directions and applications, in particular those relating to computational science and engineering. Lectures will cover the foundational mathematics of deep learning, and the tutorials will expose students to their practical implementation in standard software (TensorFlow) on a variety of tasks, including image classi fication, function approximation, and restoration/superresolution.
This workshop is aimed at students in applied mathematics or related areas. It assumes no prior knowledge of neural networks. Experience in calculus, linear algebra and analysis and numerical analysis are essential.
