The goal is to provide participants with theoretical and practical knowledge to Deep Learning and to show how Deep Learning can be used successfully in different fields of research and industry. Deep learning has made enormous progress in areas such as computer vision and speech processing, and there are promising approaches to use Deep Learning in other areas of science and engineering, e.g. for the design of new metamaterials.
