Intro to Deep Learning with Keras
Discovery Building 330 North Orchard Street, Madison, WI, United Stateshttps://uw-madison-datascience.github.io/2025-05-19-uwmadison-DeepLearningKeras/
Intro to Deep Learning with Keras
Orchard View Room, Discovery BuildingHands-on introduction to the first steps in deep learning. This introduction covers the basics of deep learning in a practical and hands-on manner, so that upon completion, you will be able to train your first neural network and understand what next steps to take to improve the model. We start with explaining the basic concepts of neural networks, and then go through the different steps of a deep learning workflow.
