Assignment to Modules

Further Information

Courses are together with exams the building blocks for modules. Please keep in mind that information on the contents, learning outcomes and, especially examination conditions are given on the module level only – see section "Assignment to Modules" above.

additional remarks ATTENTION: This course is 2V + 2P, the practical part always takes place directly after the lecture. The course will be given by B. Bäuml. Details about the course, esp. about its special digital form for this summer semester, will be given on the course webpage: https://bbaeuml.github.io/tum-adlr-ss20/ This is the advanced deep learning lecture with a specific focus on Robotics and deep reinforcement learning (including a guest lecture from DeepMind). For the semester long project in the practical part, for each student $1000 credits in the Google Cloud are provided via a Google Educational Grant. Taking the “Introduction to Deep Learning” course is expected. 1. Introduction & Recap of Deep Learning 2. Advanced Network Architectures & Recursive Neural Networks (LSTMs) 3.
