Review and research seminar focused on contemporary topics from the area of neural networks, deep learning, social network analysis and data mining. It is primarily intended for PhD and MS students working on their dissertations and theses on related topics. Student presentations are based on previously published papers or their own work.

The course is focused on deeper understanding of the properties and the function of selected models of neural networks - robustness, generalization abilities, etc. Several principles important for the application of neural networks for solving practical tasks will be explained in detail. The discussed application areas include natural speech processing, image processing, robotics, etc.
