Course Goal / Objective
The objective of the Advances Topic in Neural Networks course is to expand on the material covered in the introduction to Neural Networks course (EE589). It focuses on special topics in NN such as exact and approximate inference in graphical models, dimensionality reduction and component analysis methods, latent variable models, models of documents and words, time series models and selected topic from deep neural networks. The course will consist of (each student) presentations and discussions. Students will be evaluated based on their participation in discussions, presentations, and projects that will be a manuscript or a conference paper.
Course Content
Discussion of the results of research, Parameter Optimization Algorithms, Learning and Generalization, Bayesian Techniques, Mixture Models, and Applications of Neural Networks.
