Deep Learning for the Humanities Workshop

Deep Learning for the Humanities workshop

Deep-learning has been used in many recent applications You’ve likely seen use cases such as Stable diffusion - image generation, ChatGPT text generation, image classification and, object detection in self-driving cars. Deep-learning is also gaining popularity in the humanities, even beyond NLP uses.

In this workshop we are teaching humanities students & researchers how to train neural networks using PyTorch, thereby allowing them to eventually use this for their own research interests. Meaning this course is heavily focused onto the practical side of neural network programming.

The main focus revolves around visual data, but the basics taught in this course are equally important for language or audio related deep learning:

Session Date Topic
Session 1 6 February Tensors
Session 2 20 February Linear regression (Training Pt 1.)
Session 2 5 March Non-Linear Data (Training Pt 2. & Evaluation)
Session 3 19 March Images as Data
Session 4 2 April Image classification
Session 5 16 April Transfer Learning
Session 6 30 April Spill-over Session
