Theoretical Background

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN)

Check out the nice Stanford CS course titled CS231n: Convolutional Neural Networks for Visual Recognition. There is a nice lecture on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs / ConvNets) which provides an architectural overview as well as detailed explanations of the different layers and popular architectures.

A nice collection of final reports by the course students is available here. The following ones are specially remarkable:

• Tiny ImageNet Challenge - Dissection of a convolutional neural network. Explains a simple architecture and dissects it with useful insight. Besides, the figures are nice and can serve as inspiration.
• Learning 3D Object Orientations From Synthetic Images. Cool approach to mix 3D training data (which is converted to 2D) with 2D input images for object orientation detection.
• Convolutional Neural Networks for Fashion Classification and Object Detection. Multiple object detection in the same image, instead of single object per image.

Deep Neural Networks (DNN)

Frameworks

Torch

Torch is a scientific computing framework which supports a wide variety of machine learning algorithms. Characterized by an easy use thanks to its LuaJIT scripting language. It also features significant efficiency due to the underlying CUDA/C implementation.

• Convolutional Neural Network example with Lua
• Object detection with Recursive Convolutional Neural Network and Lua

Caffe

Caffe is a deep learning framework developed by the Berkeley Vision and Learning Center (BVLC). It is implemented mainly in C++ and supports GPU computing thanks to CUDA.
