The course will go into detail on modern Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques used in research and production, focusing both on the theory behind algorithms and on practical examples run on a supercomputer. The codes that will be written and executed during the course will cover both training and predictions using artificial neural networks on a large and small scale. Natural Language Processing and Computer Vision techniques will also be analyzed.
