I’ll be holding a workshop on GPU Programming at Hasan Kalyoncu University, Gaziantep as part of EURASIA Graphics 2018 Conference on 17 November 2018.

Details can be found here.

We have successfully completed the “NVIDIA DLI Fundamentals of Deep Learning for Computer Vision -Hands on Workshop” organized by BTK and with about 100 participants!

Thanks for participating and hope to see you in our future events!

We have successfully finished the workshop. Thanks to all the participants, do not forget to complete the evaluation part to receive your certificate!

The NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute (DLI) and Graduate School of Informatics, Middle East Technical University (METU) are excited to deliver a hands-on deep learning workshop at Graduate School of Informatics on 22nd September 2018 Saturday exclusively for verifiable academic students, staff, and researchers. In this full-day workshop, you’ll learn the basics of deep learning by training and deploying neural networks.

IMPORTANT: To reserve your seat, you MUST register at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/fundamentals-of-deep-learning-for-computer-vision-hands-on-workshop-tickets-50069629610 with a valid university email address (*.edu.tr).

In this full-day workshop, you’ll learn the basics of deep learning by training and deploying neural networks. You’ll learn how to:

• Implement common deep learning workflows, such as image classification and object detection.
• Experiment with data, training parameters, network structure, and other strategies to increase performance and capability.
• Deploy your neural networks to start solving real-world problems.

Upon completion, you’ll be able to start solving problems on your own with deep learning.

Workshop Agenda:

22^nd  September 2018 Saturday

10:00   Deep Learning Demystified and Applied Deep Learning (lecture)

10:30   Training Deep Neural Networks: 120 minutes (Hands-On)

12:30   Lunch Break

13:30   Deploying Trained Neural Networks: 40 minutes (Hands-On)

14:10   Coffee Break

14:30   Measuring and Improving Performance: 120 minutes (Hands-On)

16:30   Closing Comments & Questions

You must bring your own laptop to this workshop.

This workshop is meant for developers, data scientists, and researchers with a basic understanding of deep learning concepts.

I’ll be giving a talk titled “Deep Learning in Computer Vision” as part of the Informatics Institute monthly Friday Seminars series.

Location: Conference Room (124), METU Informatics Institute

Time: 13 April 2018, 15:30-16:30

This seminar is open to public and those outside METU have to register from EventBrite page of the event: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/metu-informatics-institute-friday-seminars-deep-learning-in-computer-vision-tickets-44790433392 (Free Registration)

Deep Learning in Computer Vision

Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have been shown to achieve human-level accuracy for many vision tasks. On the other hand, they require considerable amounts of computational power and data to train. In this talk, I will first talk about the deep learning based approaches and their differences to traditional approaches. I will then give an overview of the deep learning ecosystem (tools and systems) for training and inference. Then I will be focusing on their application to the computer vision problems with a number of examples including image classification, object detection, image segmentation as well as generative models. I will then conclude by discussing the challenges and problems in current deep learning based approaches.

We’ll be holding a one-day practical Deep Learning workshop on 8th January 2018 Monday at ViCoS lab – Faculty of computer and information science, University of Ljubljana.

Thanks for attending the workshop! There was a lot of demand for the event but we were only able to accommodate around 40 participants (+1 cat), so we will be holding similar events in the near feature. Next event will be in Bilkent University on 19th November 2017, we are planning to have another one at the Informatics Institute shortly after.

DLI and Graduate School of Informatics, Middle East Technical University (METU) are excited to announce this half-day practical Deep Learning workshop at Graduate School of Informatics on 21st October 2017 Saturday exclusively for verifiable academic students, staff, and researchers.

I have been certified as Deep Learning Institute (DLI) Instructor and DLI University Ambassador.

We will be holding Deep Learning training and meet-up sessions  with the support of NVIDIA soon.

I will be giving a talk on First-Person Activity Recognition with Multimodal Features at the International Workshop on Computational Intelligence for Multimedia Understanding (IWCIM) 2017 – satellite workshop to EUSIPCO-2017, to be held in Kos, Greece, on Saturday, September 2, 2017.
