Datathon structure:

Fundamentals of

Deep Learning

We will explore neural networks from mathematical foundations, we will build a neural network understanding its operation with pure Python and also with PyTorch and TensorFlow. We will also cover concepts such as optimization and regularization.

Convolutional

Neural Networks

To apply Deep Learning in images is we will start with the theory of the Convertive Neural Networks (CNN), review the classic architectures and apply Transfer Learning.

Recurring

Neural Networks

We will begin the path in Natural Language Processing (NLP) by understanding the theory of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN). We will see RNNs with Computers and Memory Cells.

computer

Vision

We will continue our path in images, apply filters, edge detection, objects and learn the You Only Look Once (YOLO) algorithm.

Advanced

Topics

We will delve into the state of the art with Sequence to Sequence Methods, review Attention and Transformers.

Deep Unsupervised

Learning

We will continue with the state of the art exploring the theory of GANs and their architectures from latent spaces.

Cloud for

Deep Learning

We will learn from the fundamentals of Cloud to deploying Deep Learning models using Amazon Web Services.

Ethics for

Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence has an impact on the development of humanity. This raises questions about what we should do with these systems. In this module we will see about ethics in Artificial Intelligence.

Project

Artificial Intelligence

In this module we will teach topics about project development. Students will develop a project applying what they learned in the program to present it at the Demo Day. 

Demo Day

At the end, the projects that were carried out during the program will be presented during the program. A Demo Day to share your achievements!

David Ramirez

Electrical Engineer

I am David Ramírez, a student graduating from the Industrial Electrical Engineering program at the National Autonomous University of Honduras (UNAH). I am passionate about scaling systems to their maximum level of automation and efficiency. I am bilingual, I know English and Spanish is my native language, I also studied German at level A2. I use Microsoft computer tools, and also, multiple software that I have learned throughout my university career, such as Multisim, CadeSimu, KiCad, Wolfram, SketchUp, among others; I am currently finishing my Python course, it is the programming language that I know best, however, I hope to continue learning from the world of programming and artificial intelligence, since I am witness to the enormous potential that these tools have and the enormous benefit and impact that they currently generate and will continue to generate in our lives.
