course overview
Overview
This workshop teaches deep learning techniques for understanding textual input using natural language processing (NLP) through a series of hands-on exercises. You will work with widely-used deep learning tools, frameworks, and workflows to perform neural network training on a fully-configured, GPU-accelerated workstation in the cloud.
The course teaches techniques to: train a neural network for text classification, build a linguistic style model to extract features from a given text document, and create a neural machine translation model for converting text from one language to another.
Skills Gained
At the conclusion of the workshop, you will have an understanding of:
Why Deep Learning Institute Hands-On Training?
Certification
In order to receive NVIDIA DLI Certification on successful completion of the workshop, participants are presented with an exercise to assess subject matter competency.
Prerequisites
Basic experience with neural networks and Python programming, familiarity with linguistics.
Outline
Overview of Natural Language Processing
Overview of NLP challenges and how to tackle them with deep learning
Word Embeddings
We will cover distributed data representations, such as word embeddings using the word2vec algorithm.
Once trained, the word embeddings can be used for variety of problems, including text classification.
Text Classification
Text classification will be used to determine the authors of an unknown set of documents. The trained text-classification model is then used to identify the right author for a given text document.
Text Translation
Learn the basic technique to translate human-readable text to machine-readable format, and how to use attention mechanisms to improve results - especially for long strings.
Closing Comments and Questions
Quick overview of the next steps you could leverage to build and deploy your own applications
If you need training for 3 or more people, you should ask us about onsite training. Putting aside the obvious location benefit, content can be customised to better meet your business objectives and more can be covered than in a public classroom. Its a cost effective option. One on one training can be delivered too, at reasonable rates.
Submit an enquiry from any page on this site, and let us know you are interested in the requirements box, or simply mention it when we contact you.
