Deep Learning for Natural Language Processing (4th edition)
From 3/7/2019 to 5/7/2019 in Donostia-San Sebastian
http://ixa2.si.ehu.es/deep_learning_seminar/
Register before 15/5/2019!
Deep Learning neural network models have been successfully applied to natural language processing, and are now changing radically how we interact with machines (Siri, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Skype translator, Google Translate, or the Google search engine). These models are able to infer a continuous representation for words and sentences, instead of using hand-engineered features as in other machine learning approaches. The seminar will introduce the main deep learning models used in natural language processing, allowing the attendees to gain hands-on understanding and implementation of them in Keras.
This course is a 20 hour in-depth introduction to the main deep learning models used in text processing. It combines theoretical and practical hands-on classes. Attendants will be able to understand and implement the models in Keras.
Student profile
--------------------
Addressed to professionals, researchers and students who want to understand and apply deep learning techniques to text. The practical part requires basic programming experience, a university-level course in computer science and experience in Python. Basic math skills (algebra or pre-calculus) are also needed.
