Course Description
Deep Learning has had a transformative impact on computer vision, natural language processing, and various other domains. The recent significant advancements in deep learning can be attributed to progress made in structured large datasets, machine learning algorithms, and hardware computing systems. Deep learning models impose substantial computational demands, especially as they are increasingly deployed on cloud computing and Internet of Things (IoT) platforms. To address these challenges, Domain-Specific Accelerators (DSAs) specifically designed for deep neural networks (DNNs) have emerged. These accelerators are customized to efficiently handle the specific computing patterns and dataflow of deep learning models. By utilizing these domain-specific accelerators, deep learning models can achieve enhanced performance, improved energy efficiency, and be seamlessly integrated into a wide range of applications and platforms.
Course Objective
This course provides insights into deep learning algorithms and the design of Domain-Specific Accelerators (DSA) for deep learning. It comprehensively covers learning methods, deep neural architecture structures, and diverse hardware platforms used in deep neural networks (DNN). Specifically, it focuses on supervised learning for image processing, surveys the key scaling trends in deep learning, discusses co-design approaches for deep learning algorithms and accelerators, and highlights crucial benchmarking metrics for evaluating DNN algorithmic models and hardware accelerators proposed in academia and industry.
Course Organization and Content
The course will involve a mix of lectures, research paper presentations, and course labs.
Students are expected to read, present, and interact with research papers, and complete four course projects and one final take-home exam.
Course materials, labs, and readings are available through
Canvas.
