Abstract
The objective of the course is to introduce approaches for solving common image processing problems using machine learning methods.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course students should be able to: understand, use, and evaluate machine learning models in the area of image processing; know how to employ pre-trained models using transfer learning; how to deal with big datasets that do not fit available memory; and how to prepare data to get relevant results.
