Stat 654: Introduction to Applied Deep Learning
Department of Statistics and Biostatistics, CSU East Bay
Spring 2025:
Week 5:
- Midterm: The take-home Midterm will be given this week. See the Assignments link.
- Project: The Project will be given this week.
- Code Examples:
- Warning: The program introduction_convnets_pretrained.R is very very computationally intensive. Unless you have a very recent computer with lots of CPU processor cores or an nVidia graphics card and Tensorflow-gpu set up you should change the number of epochs to 5 to see how long each part of the code takes to run before trying this code.
