The University of Cyprus's MSc Deep Learning is part of the Master programmes in Artificial Intelligence 4 Careers in Europe (MAI4CAREU). One of Master's programme's courses, MAI642 - Deep Learning is taught by Associate Professor Theocharis Theocharides and split up into several lectures. In this initial lecture, students are introduced to the fundamental concepts of deep learning, providing them with a solid foundation for understanding more complex topics in subsequent lectures. The focus is on building a conceptual understanding of deep learning and its applications in various fields.

Learning outcomes

• Introduction to Neural Network
• Multilayer Perceptron
• Back Propagation Learning - What is Deep Learning?

Course content and schedule

The MAI642 - Deep Learning course is spread out over 13 weeks of lectures, which are split into 13 lectures covering 4 broader topics:

• Week 1-3: Basics 
• Week 4: Fundamentals of Deep (Convolutional) Learning
• Week 5-9: Deep Neural Networks – Deep into deep learning
• Week 10-13: Emerging Deep Learning research and applications

The course then wraps up with a comprehensive final exam.
