Deep Learning for Biomedical Data
2 credits - Spring Term
Deep learning is a type of machine learning method that employs many layers of data representations to capture the characteristics of the input data at different levels. It is inspired by the organization of neurons in organisms and has shown superior performance in image classification, natural language processing, and predicting of gene functions. In this class, we will introduce the basic concepts of deep neural networks and GPU computing, discuss convolutional neural networks and recurrent neural network structures, and examine a few biomedical applications. Students are expected to be familiar with linear algebra and machine learning and will participate in a group deep-learning project.
Jointly Offered with:
Harvard Chan School as EPI 290
