Course description and aims

 Dramatic advances in deep learning technology have brought about major changes not only in the development of academic research, but also in industry and society. Image recognition AI and game AI have already been shown to surpass human capabilities, and new algorithms are constantly being proposed and put to practical use in classical optimization and search technologies. New algorithms are being proposed and put to practical use in classical optimization and search techniques. In addition, quantum computing is gradually being applied in limited situations (e.g., combinatorial optimization). In the future, basic knowledge of these advanced technologies and understanding of their technical limitations will be required not only for engineers in the field but also for management persons
 Since this lecture is targeted at students studying technology management, we will avoid detailed theoretical explanations of mathematics as much as possible, and aim to acquire a wide range of basic knowledge related to deep learning. In addition, by creating simple models through programming practice, the objective is for the participants to correctly understand the merits and demerits of deep learning and the scope of its application.
The programming practice in this lecture is intended to be at a level corresponding to beginners of Python. This lecture is designed to be easy to learn even for beginners of machine learning, and the students will acquire the principles of algorithms and the ability to implement simple methods based on the application examples of each method.

Student learning outcomes

By taking this lecture, students will understand and acquire the following.
(1) Understand the development trend, various problems, and business cases of deep learning.
(2) To understand the outline of machine learning algorithms for image recognition and natural language processing.
(3) To correctly understand the advantages and disadvantages of deep learning, its application scope, and technical limitations.
(4) Acquire the ability to implement deep learning using Python.
