The educational goal is the following:
Knowledge and understanding
The course aims at giving a basic knowledge of the main type of deep neural network, i.e. feedforward networks. To this end the course will also supply the necessary notions of probability.
Ability to apply knowledge and understanding
Et the end of the course students must be able to to carry out a project on some application that will be assigned by the teacher; the methods that have been employed and the results that have been obtained will be discussed with the teacher.
It is expected that the ability to use feedforward neural networks is used in professional contexts, for various purposes, but possibly also in public administration or in research activities.
