Location: Remote via Zoom. Link will be sent on the morning of the event.
Recordings: This D-Lab workshop will be recorded and made available to UC Berkeley participants for a limited time. Your registration for the event indicates your consent to having any images, comments and chat messages included as part of the video recording materials that are made available.
Date & Time: This workshop runs from 9am-12pm on:
• Wednesday, April 19

Start Time: D-Lab workshops start 10 minutes after the scheduled start time (“Berkeley Time”). We will admit all participants from the waiting room at that time.
Description
This workshop introduces the basic concepts of Deep Learning — the training and performance evaluation of large neural networks, especially for image classification, natural language processing, and time-series data. Like many other machine learning algorithms, we will use deep learning algorithms to map input data to their appropriately classified outcome labels.
You will use the R interface to Keras to become familiar with basic concepts like input and output layers, batch sizes and output dimensions, dropout rates, weight parametrization and bias, backpropagation, and loss, activation, and optimization functions. You will also gain confidence exploring more complex approaches that utilize pretrained and fine-tuned models.
Prerequisites: D-Lab's Intro to Machine Learning in R workshop series or equivalent introductory machine learning knowledge.
Workshop Materials: https://github.com/dlab-berkeley/R-Deep-Learning
Software Requirements:Installation Instructions for R and RStudio
Is RStudio Not working on your laptop?Attend the workshop anyway, we can provide you with a cloud-based solution until you figure out the problems with your local installation.
