Overview:
Please join us at this upcoming workshop which will be live streamed.

In this hands-on workshop we gently introduce you to Deep Learning and demonstrate how MATLAB tools can be used with medical images.

Highlights

  • Learn the fundamental theory of Deep Learning for classification and regression problems
  • Learn the Deep Learning workflow in MATLAB
  • Access and explore various pretrained models
  • Use transfer learning to build a network for image classification
  • Learn how to evaluate the network and improve its accuracy
  • Explore examples of Deep Learning in Medical Imaging
