Riedhammer
Prof. Dr. Korbinian Riedhammer earned his diploma and doctoral degrees in computer science (Diplom Informatik, Doktor-Ingenieur) at the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany, in 2007 and 2012, respectively. His dissertation is focused on automatic speech recognition and understanding, and how such technologies can be used to extract knowledge from spoken documents. From 2012-2013, he was a postdoctoral visiting scientist at the International Computer Science (UC Berkeley) working on low-resource methods for keyword search in the context of the IARPA Babel program. In 2014, he cofounded Remeeting (now Mod9 Technolgies), a venture-backed startup that provides highly customizable on-premise solutions for speech recognition and indexing. In 2016, he returned to Germany as a tenured full professor for computer science at the Technische Hochschule Rosenheim. Since 2019, he is professor for software architecture and machine learning at the Technische Hochschule Nürnberg, where he also serves as the dean of students in the CS department.

Deep Learning: Fundamentals and Applications

Over the last decade, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has seen a steep rise to the top, with large tech companies such as Google, Facebook, and Amazon investing heavily in research and development. From chatbots and face recognition algorithms to self‐driving cars, AI quickly transforms technology, business, and society. The driving factors behind this momentum are the recent advances in machine learning, particularly deep learning.
This course introduces the fundamental concepts of Deep Learning (DL). The objective is to provide a broad overview of the field, empowering you to understand the relationship between AI and DL and DL’s exciting and challenging application areas. Upon completing this course, you should be familiar with the common terminology in the field and understand its basic concepts. In addition, you will learn how distinct DL architectures can be applied to train your machine learning models. The detailed topics covered in the course include:
• Machine Learning Introduction
• Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) and Backpropagation
• Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Autoencoders (AENs)
• Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) and Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs)
• Real-World Challenges and Trustworthy AI

We look forward to embarking on this exciting journey with you, exploring the cutting-edge concepts that are reshaping our technological landscape.

Generative AI for Text, Audio & Images

We will cover the basic concepts of prominent methods for generative deep learning before starting a deep dive on their application to text, audio and images. Since we will focus on applications and the usage of respective foundation models and toolkits, we strongly recommend you get familiar with deep learning ahead of this course. In detail, we will cover:

Theory: Prominent generative Deep Learning Methods
-Generative Pretrained Transformers (GPT), Fine-Tuning, RLHF, Instruction Learning, Zero-Shot Learning, In-Context Learning, Chain-of-Thought
-Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN)
-Variational Auto-Encoders (VAE)
-Diffusion
-Style transfer

Hands-On:
-Text: GPT Prompt Engineering
-Text to Speech, Voice Conversion
-Image generation and captioning


We will conclude the course with an outlook on risks, limitations, ethical and legal implications.
