The Hartree Centre is collaborating with NVIDIA on a two-day RAPIDS bootcamp. You'll have the opportunity to learn how to apply AI tools and techniques to several applications ranging from medical image analysis to product assistance.
When: 17 - 18 February 2022 | 09:00 - 12:30
Where: Online event
Best for: Users with basic experience in Python
You will study the core concepts of Deep Neural Networks, how to build Deep Learning models as well as how to measure and improve the accuracy of your models. You will also learn essential data pre-processing techniques to ensure a robust Machine Learning pipeline. This online Bootcamp is a hands-on learning experience where you will be guided through step-by-step instructions with teaching assistants on hand to help throughout.
