It’s a great opportunity to meet fellow postgrads, listen to an interesting talk, and of course get some free pizza! ************************************************************************************** Speaker: Xiangnan Xu Title: Introduction to Deep Learning Abstract: Deep learning has achieved tremendous success in recent years including classification, data generation and reinforcement learning. In this talk, we will introduce some basic ideas of deep learning and some network structures that are commonly used in deep learning. Also, we will show a network which converts photos from real world to animation style image using CycleGAN. Finally, if time permits, we will discuss some combination of deep learning with bioinformatics. ************************************************************************************** See you there!
