CS294-158 Deep Unsupervised Learning Spring 2019

Lectures, papers and assignments for Berkeyls Deep Unsupervised Learning Course are now available here:
https://sites.google.com/view/berkeley-cs294-158-sp19/home.

The course deals with 2 areas of deep learning, namely Deep Generative Models and Self-supervised Learning.

Topics are:

  • Generative adversarial networks
  • variational autoencoders
  • autoregressive models
  • flow models
  • energy based models
  • compression
  • self-supervised learning
  • semi-supervised learning.

The course is currently ongoing so not all lectures are available yet.
