FAQ

Q: Where do I find information on "xyz"?
A: Please refer to the syllabus, very likely you will find information there. If it's not in the syllabus, then please reach out to the course staff.
Q: How should I best reach out to the course staff?
A: Almost all questions should be asked on Piazza (consider using Piazza's search functionality to check whetehr a similar question has been answered before). If you deem Piazza inappropriate (e.g. for sensitive issues) you can email the instructors directly.

What students say ...

Quotes from the Spring 2023 evaluation

The best aspects of this course were

the homeworks. Very VERY challenging but also very helpful in learning the materials.

This course provided a pretty strong overview of

deep learning -- as someone who had only very little exposure to deep learning, this was a good course for me to take

Quotes from the Spring 2022 evaluation

Quite a bit of in-depth HW that cover good topics!

The best aspect of this course was

-the bottom-up teaching approach. Rather than simply jumping into PyTorch implementations the course made sure to elaborate on the fundamental theory that makes neural networks work.

Quotes from the Spring 2021 evaluation

I really appreciate how well rounded the course was

- covering fundamentals, applications across many different fields, and the socioeconomic factors that come into play. It was definitely an important perspective to have in an introduction to the field.

Training deep learning networks takes a really long time.

So that was definitely a struggle working on the homework to have sufficient time to rerun the network with numerous different parameters.

Very comprehensive and exciting course. One of the best I've taken.

Quotes from the Fall 2020 evaluation

Great course but be prepared to commit a lot of time to the course

It is very difficult but worthwhile class.

Great course, must take if interested in AI/DL.

Excellent lectures, interesting homework problems and coverage of cutting edge topics in DL.

Start your homeworks early, training takes TIME!

Quotes from the Fall 2019 evaluation

Deep Learning is a hard class, but also one of the best classes I have taken at Hopkins!

The learning curve is enormous!

The coursework is tough but interesting. The grading, at the same time, always appeared fair to me.

It is difficult

but you will get great exposure to practical implementations of deep learning.

Quotes from the Spring 2019 evaluation

Best CS course at Hopkins by far!

The professor and the TAs are all very passionate on teaching this course. I have learnt many things from this course.

Heavy workload!

you'll learn a lot, very interesting. Good memes in lecture slides!

Time consuming!

Really clear your schedule to make sure you have the time to take this course. It is difficult and incredibly time consuming. That being said, it is also very rewarding. I would strongly recommend it..
