In computational science, deep learning probably is one of the
most heralded techniques of present time and recent history, mainly
due to its versatility and impressive achievements likewise.
Indeed, applications of deep learning range from beating the
(human) world champion of the highly complicated Go game to the
promise of deploying self-driving cars in the near future, on a
large scale and all over the world.
Deep learning (DL) pertains to the field of artificial
intelligence and is great at extracting and mastering the often
highly non-linear patterns of a given process, whatever this
process might be. The only main requirement is the availability of
a large amount of data that describes the behaviour of the process
under different conditions and a truckload of computational power.
However, since the price of data storage and the effort of sampling
data has dropped dramatically over the last years, and since
Moore's law on the increase of computational power does even
nowadays not show any signs of a slowdown, fitting deep learning
models that are able to produce extremely useful predictions are a
reality and this already for some years now.
The main purpose of this web session is to get the participants
acquainted with DL models, and applications on text analysis will
help achieving this. To this end, a healthy mix between theory and
practice will be provided, however, it is important to note that
some time will be spend to go through the theoretical foundations
of neural networks and hence DL, as the inner workings of these
models are a bit different from the ones of the classic statistical
models.
