Course on Neural Networks & Deep Learning - From the Neuron to ChatGPT

News |

This semester we offer a course for all students who are interested in neural networks and deep learning. This is a beginner course, offering basic knowledge and an introduction to programming first networks in Python suitable especially for application in social science and political science research.

The course consists of two phases: a block seminar (1-3 June 2023) and a group project phase (final submission: 15th September 2023).

Intensive Course: 

  • Day 1: Background on neural networks and manual implementation in Python
  • Day 2: Adaptation of deep learning for political science research using Python libraries
  • Day 3: Introduction to Natural Language Processing and adaptation in Python

Group Project: 

Students will work together on projects of their own choosing building either an own neural network or fine-tuning a pre-existing one. There will be both monthly discussions on the individual projects as well as insights on important challenges of every working stage.
