Requirements (Subjects that are assumed to be known)
The students are expected to have studied Linear Systems Although not mandatory, basic knowledge on Digital Image Processing is welcome.
Objectives
Learning Results and their relation with course contents - To learn digital images and the spatial filtering operation over images. - To know basic concepts of Machine Learning: loss functions, regularization, hyperparameters, data augmentation, etc. - To understand deep neural networks and their training algorithms: gradient descent and back-propagation. - To learn Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and their most usual processing blocks/layers. - To understand, design and train CNN architectures for image classification. - To understand, design and train advanced CNN architectures to address other task of visual recognition: object detection, image captioning, image segmentation, image synthesis, etc.

Learning activities and methodology
Two teaching activities are proposed: lectures and lab sessions. LECTURES The lecture sessions will be supported by slides or by any other means to illustrate the concepts explained. In these classes the explanation will be completed with examples. In these sessions the student will acquire the basic concepts of the course. It is important to highlight that these classes require the initiative and the personal and group involvement of the students (there will be concepts that the students themselves should develop). LABORATORY SESSIONS This is a course with a high practical component, and students will attend to laboratory sessions very often. In them, the concepts explained during the lectures will be put into practice using deep learning software libraries (eg pytorch). In the laboratory, machines equipped with high-performance GPUs are available and free distributed computing systems such as Google Colab will also be used.
