Additional information

Unit content:

The Unit will cover the following topics:

  • Introduction, Overview, and Preliminaries
  • Linear Neural Networks
  • Multilayer Perceptrons
  • Optimisation Algorithms
  • Convolutional Neural Networks
  • Recurrent Neural Networks
  • Performance evaluation and best practices
  • Applications: Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing, Recommender Systems. This may include one invited (industry) talk
  • Wrap-up, summary, exam tips, and open discussions.
Other notes:

Each student is expected to read the lecture notes and any recommended reading materials relevant to the topic for each week. Students will be able to access the unit information and learning materials through LMS. A list of relevant reference texts and resources will be provided. Students will also need to spend some time doing the lab exercises for that week. In addition, each student will need to complete two assignments on their own, and sit for the final examination. Assignments may require independent research to be carried out by students. Students with demonstrated capability may have the possibility to work with real data sets that may be subject to confidentiality agreements.
