diverse range of tasks. Namely self driving cars, new kinds of video games, AI, Automation, object
detection and recognition, surveillance tracking etc.

The proposed course aims at introducing the foundations of Deep learning to various professionals who
are working in the area of automation, machine learning, artificial intelligence, mathematics, statistics,
and neurosciences (both theory and applications).
This is proposed course to introduce Neural networks and Deep learning approaches (mainly
Convolutional Neural networks) and give few typical applications, where and how they are applied. The
following topics will be explored in the proposed course.

We will cover a range of topics from basic neural networks, convolutional and recurrent network
structures, deep unsupervised and reinforcement learning, and applications to problem domains like
