Description

In this course, we will explore the pivotal role of deep learning across various application domains, delving into its rapid advancements. However, our focus extends beyond mere accuracy on isolated datasets, particularly when deploying deep learning in real-world scenarios, especially those with high stakes. Taking a pragmatic perspective, we will examine the sociotechnical challenges that impede the seamless deployment of deep learning techniques in critical applications. Our emphasis lies in identifying and addressing these challenges to facilitate the effective integration of deep learning solutions. Drawing examples from diverse fields like autonomous driving, robotics, and healthcare, we aim to equip participants with the knowledge and strategies needed to navigate the complexities of deploying deep learning in high-stakes environments.


Prerequisites :

It is highly recommended that students complete CSE 471: Introduction to AI or CSE 475: Foundations of Machine Learning in order to be successful in this course. We assume the students to have an understanding of deep learning and experience with one of the deep learning libraries such as pytorch.
