Student Machine Learning Seminar

We have spent the last two months learning the basics of neural networks. In this hour-long workshop I will talk about actually training a neural network. You are encouraged to bring a laptop to the seminar this week. We will work through a Python notebook where we will experiment with different kinds of layers, activations, optimizers, and regularization to try to solve a well-known problem.

We will use a (free) online service to avoid setting up various libraries on our own computers. You do not need any python/numpy experience to participate in this workshop, but having some will help. Speaker(s): Umang Varma (University of Michigan)
