Both algorithmic and system related building blocks of DL systems will be covered including DL training algorithms, network architectures, and best practices for performance optimization. We will study hyperparameter choices, scalable distributed DL training, Kubernetes based DL system stack on cloud, tools and benchmarks for performance evaluation of DL systems, transfer learning etc. Emphasis will be on getting working knowledge of tools and techniques for performance evaluation of DL systems. The students will gain practical experience working on different stages of DL life cycle, including model development, testing, and deployment. The assignments will be mostly hands-on involving standard DL frameworks (Tensorflow, Pytorch) and open source technologies.

Prerequisites: An introductory machine learning course. Knowledge of python is preferred but not necessary.

(22513) Abstract Interpretation Patrick Cousot
Office Hours M 9:30-11:20AM ONLINE

Many numerical or symbolic problems are very hard or even undecidable meaning that no computer algorithm can solve them exactly in reasonable time and memory space. This course introduces the latest techniques in abstract interpretation, a powerful framework for automatically calculating approximate solutions of such difficult problems. The main emphasis will be on software verification and automatic analysis with a wide range of applications from compilers to social networks.

Prerequisites: Some facility with logic, sets, linear algebra, graphs, formal languages, mathematical proofs, and programming languages is expected.

(2264) Information Technology Projects * Evan Korth W 6:00-9:00PM ONLINE

This is a capstone course that connects students directly with real-world information technology problems. The goal of this course is to teach the skills needed for success in real-world information technology via a combination of classroom lectures and practical experience with large projects that have been specified by local “clients.” The typical clients are primarily companies, but can also be government agencies or nonprofit organizations. Each project lasts for the entire semester and is designed to involve the full software project life cycle. Examples of such projects are development of software to solve a business problem, including specifying requirements, writing and testing prototype code, and writing a final report; and evaluation of commercial software to be purchased to address a business problem, including gathering requirements, designing an architecture to connect the new software with existing systems, and assessing the suitability of available software products.
