In recent years tremendous progress has been made in analysing and understanding image and video content. The dominant approach in Computer Vision today are deep learning approaches, in particular the usage of Convolutional Neural Networks.

The lecture introduces the basics, as well as advanced aspects of deep learning methods and their application for a number of computer vision tasks. The following topics will be addressed in the lecture:

- Introduction to Deep Learning

- Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN): Background

- CNNs: basic architectures and learning algorithms

- Object Recognition with CNN

- Image Segmentation with CNN

- Recurrent Neural Networks

- Generating image descriptions (Image Captioning)

- Automatic question answering (Visual Question Answering)

- Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) and their applications

- Deep Learning platforms and tools
