Through our enriching club experience, our goal is to expose students to these rapidly growing technology, and provide a profound insight into AI/Computer Vision. We expect our members to have zero experience. Therefore, we will teach them fundamentals of AI and Deep Learning. In order to do this we carry out both code demonstrations and lectures in order to instill an easier approach to understand confusing concepts. As our members become more comfortable at deep learning and coding in Python, we will enhance their experience by developing a real-world application that aligns with students' interests. This could be developing a skin cancer classification, Road Sign classification/detection, Brain tumor classification, or even an American Sign Language recognition model for a more visual-based approach. |
