Hi Pieter, A few comments.
- Much of the actual deep learning material looks like it came from the Kaggle "Deep Learning <https://www.kaggle.com/learn/intro-to-deep-learning>" sequence. - In my opinion, R is an ugly and *ad hoc* language. I'd stick to Python. - More importantly, I would put the How-to-use-Python stuff into a preliminary class. Assume your audience knows how to use Python and focus on Deep Learning. Given that, there is only a minimal amount of information about Deep Learning in the write-up. If I were to attend the workshop and thought I would be learning about Deep Learning, I would be disappointed--at least with what's covered in the write-up. I say this because I've been looking for a good intro to Deep Learning. Even though I taught Computer Science for many years, and am now retired, I avoided Deep Learning because it was so non-symbolic. My focus has always been on symbolic computing. But Deep Learning has produced so many extraordinarily impressive results, I decided I should learn more about it. I haven't found any really good material. If you are interested, I'd be more than happy to work with you on developing some introductory Deep Learning material. -- Russ Abbott Professor Emeritus, Computer Science California State University, Los Angeles On Thu, Jan 5, 2023 at 11:31 AM Pieter Steenekamp < [email protected]> wrote: > Thanks to the kind support of OpenAI's chatGPT, I am in the process of > gathering materials for a comprehensive and hands-on deep learning > workshop.
