Demystifying Deep Learning: Semantic Segmentation and Deployment
Overview
Deep learning can achieve state-of-the-art accuracy for many tasks considered algorithmically unsolvable using traditional machine learning, including classifying objects in a scene or recognizing optimal paths in an environment. In this webinar, we’ll decipher practical knowledge of the domain of deep learning, and demonstrate new MATLAB features that simplify these tasks and eliminate the low-level programming. From prototype to production: we’ll build and train neural networks, and discuss automatically converting a model to CUDA to run natively on GPUs.
Note: This webinar builds on concepts previously discussed in the Deep Learning for Computer Vision webinar.
Highlights
- Perform pixel-level semantic segmentation on images
- Import and use pre-trained models from TensorFlow and Caffe
- Speed up network training with parallel computing on a cluster
- Use data augmentation to increase the accuracy of a deep learning model
- Automatically convert a model to CUDA to run on GPUs
