Lecture 2 part 1

Introduction to Convolutional Network Architectures

• The lecture is split into three parts: learning and aggregation of features, representation of object content in different layers, and application of convolutional neural networks in semantic segmentation.
• Design choices in deep learning architecture are discussed, including the building blocks and nonlinearities used for certain applications.
• Advanced architectures with residual connections are also explored.
• Convolutional neural networks are used in a broad range of applications, including medical diagnoses, generating different-looking data or video sequences, robot vision, signal classification, voice recognition, text understanding, and machine translation.
• The course schedule includes a theoretical introduction to the exercise on implementing a UNET to segment the ventricle part of the heart in cardiac MRI scans.
• CNNs are commonly used in artificial intelligence and deep learning.
• CNNs can be applied to signals, such as ECG signals, using 1D convolution.
• DeepL, an online tool for language translation, is based on sequence-to-sequence learning with a CNN-like architecture.
• Generative models, such as variational autoencoders, can synthesize realistic-looking images without replicating training data.
• The lecture emphasizes the importance of understanding how training data is employed to find good values for parameters in deep learning architectures.
• The course will provide hands-on experience in implementing and training a UNET on clinical data.
• CNNs are essential for solving vision problems using machine learning, which is a key part of using robots in real-life applications.
