The Deep Learning School "Basic Concepts" is hosted by the community organization DIG-UM with support from the BMBF-funded ErUM-Data-Hub. The event serves the professional education of young scientists belonging to the ErUM Community.

In August 2022, we will host the first Deep Learning School at Landhaus Nordhelle in Meinerzhagen. In a comfortable ambience, intensive classes on Neural Network Building Blocks, Mastering Model Building, Convolutional Neural Networks, Recurrent Neural Networks and Introspection of Neural Networks will be held over 4 days. The workshop is aimed at deep-learning starters from all ErUM communities (Research on Universe and Matter) who have a basic knowledge of physics. 

A fee of 300€ will be charged for participation in the school. The workshop fee includes the cost of the workshop, accommodation and basic catering.

The workshop is full as the maximum number of 59 possible participants has been reached.

Please take note of the current Corona measures linked here.
