Objectives of the activity: 
  • To acquire a foundational understanding of the techniques and tools essential for training a deep learning model.
  • To gain practical experience with common deep learning data types and model architectures.
  • To improve model accuracy by enhancing datasets through data augmentation.
  •  To efficiently achieve results with less data and computation by leveraging transfer learning between models.
  • To instill confidence in participants to undertake their own projects using modern deep learning frameworks.
Outcome of the activity: Students were able to

  Develop familiarity with deep learning, a field where computer models learn to perform classification tasks directly from various data types, including images, text, or sound.

  Gain awareness of the current trends, support, and resistance within the deep learning domain.

  Understand that deep learning models can achieve state-of-the-art accuracy, sometimes surpassing human-level performance, through technical and fundamental analysis, especially in the stock market.

 Understand that deep learning models can achieve state-of-the-art accuracy, sometimes surpassing human-level performance, through technical and fundamental analysis, especially in the stock market.

 Comprehend that deep learning relies on a multi-layered structure of algorithms known as neural networks, which are designed based on the structure of the human brain.
