EE 584 - Neural Networks

3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This course introduces students to the basic concepts of modeling systems using neural networks. The underlying concepts of neural networks are introduced, as well as a number of common topologies and learning rules used in neural networks, including deep learning. Students gain firsthand experience in the creation, training, and application of neural networks through computer assignments and a short research project. (prereq: consent of instructor)
