Workshop
An introduction to the use of PyTorch and Google Colab Environments
The laboratory session will cover the fundamentals techniques for developing deep learning architectures using the PyTorch framework, with a strong focus on its core components and on programming practices. Lecture will cover the basics of tensor calculus, auto-differentiation and neural network modelling. During the hands-on part, applications on eye fixation prediction, image/video classification and object detection will be presented.
