The lecture series focused on two main topics: Dense Neural Networks (DNN) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). Prof. Vincent Lefieux provided detailed insights into Big Data, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, and Statistical Machine Learning, supported by numerous data examples and illustrations. The program also included practical sessions and group exercises designed to apply the knowledge acquired during the Summer School immediately.
By inviting leading experts like Professor Vincent Lefieux, VIASM aims to build a strong academic bridge that fosters research and the application of mathematics in advanced technological fields. The School's success underscores the Institute's crucial role in connecting domestic and international scientific communities and paves the way for promising future research collaborations.
