The main audience of this carpentry lesson is PhD students that have little to no experience with deep learning. In addition, we expect them to know basics of statistics and machine learning.
We regularly host lesson development sprints, in which we work together at the lesson. The next one is scheduled for the 13th and 14th of January 2025. We kickoff with an online meeting at 10:00 CEST. If you want to join (you are very welcome to join even if you have never contributed so far) send an email to deep-learning-lesson-dev@esciencecenter.nl .
