About

This comprehensive, hands-on guide to deep learning with Python covers fundamental concepts and advanced techniques to apply deep neural network models in real-world scenarios.

Deep Learning Crash Course starts from the basics to explore the most modern techniques and applications that are of great interest right now, and whose popularity will only grow in the future. It covers advanced topics such as generative models (the technology behind deep fakes), self-supervised learning, attention mechanisms (the technology behind ChatGPT), diffusion models (the technology behind text2image models such as DALL-E), graph neural networks (the technology behind AlphaFold), and deep reinforcement learning (the technology behind AlphaGo). These cutting-edge concepts and techniques address the current demands and trends in deep learning, giving you practical skills to tackle complex real-world problems. Benjamin Midtvedt is a doctoral researcher that combines a solid grounding in physics with a keen interest in the potential of deep learning in life sciences.

Jesús is also a core developer of the deep learning software packages DeepTrack and Deeplay.

Henrik Klein Moberg is a Ph.D. candidate at Chalmers University of Technology, specializing in the integration of Artificial Intelligence with physical sciences. His academic background includes a Bachelor's degree in Physics and a Master's degree in Complex Adaptive Systems. His research focuses on applying deep learning techniques to nanofluidic microscopy and nanophotonics, aiming to enhance the precision and efficiency of these technologies. He has also organized and spoken at numerous conferences related to AI and scientific data analysis.

Harshith Bachimanchi is a PhD student whose research combines holographic microscopy and deep learning to better understand marine microorganisms. His academic journey began with an integrated Bachelor's-Master's program in physics, focusing initially on experimental nonlinear optics. Since beginning his PhD in 2020, Harshith has applied his skills in experimental optics alongside deep learning techniques to track both biological and synthetic particles, enhancing our understanding of these complex systems. He has also developed simulations and tutorials demonstrating the practical applications of deep learning in microscopy. Moving forward, Harshith aims to continue blending experimental and computational approaches to solve complex challenges in biophysics.

Joana B. Pereira is an Associate Professor at Karolinska Institute in Sweden, where she focuses on investigating new biomarkers for neurodegenerative disorders, in particular Alzheimer's disease.
