Elective courses for Computer Science and Machine Learning
Specific programme courses of 2nd stage Bioinformatics
ECTS credit allocation (and other scores): (not available) Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles:
  • the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS;
  • the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h;
  • 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes;
  • weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS;
  • work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load.

Short description:

Almost every other day, we hear of innovations in the field of visual recognition. Automatic classification of images, object detection, action recognition in videos, scene understanding by autonomous cars and object tracing by drones are just a few examples of the what can be achieved with visual recognition methods. Recent developments in neural networks (aka deep learning) have significantly advanced the visual recognition field. The goal of this course is to teach about cutting-edge deep learning architectures for visual recognition, and how to implement, train and debug neural networks. Students will gain theoretical knowledge, information on the latest research in the field, and will gain practical skills.
