Machine Learning in the Wild. Exploring new Applications using Deep Neural Networks

Machine Learning in the Wild. Exploring new Applications using Deep Neural Networks

.
.

Background

AI has advanced over the last decade tremendously. Applications range from the detection of cats in YouTube videos (2012) to more serious research as skin cancer classification [1].
“Deep learning allows computational models that are composed of multiple processing layers to learn representations of data with multiple levels of abstraction.” [2] Therefore a vast range of possibilities for the use of deep learning is present and should be explored.
You will be supervised by one or more of four PhD-Candidates actively working with Machine Learning technologies at ITIV. Possible project subjects will be discussed in person. Own project ideas are also welcome!
