| Welcome to the most exciting class on campus! We will study the basics of deep neural networks (DNNs), including high-level philosophy, basic mathematics and models, training, initialization, and regularization; common usages such as classification, regression, reinforcement learning and generative models; interesting applications like style/content transfer, language translation, audio processing, language and image synthesis/generation, and control; as well as miscellaneous topics including robustness, visualization, interpretability/understandability, and ethical considerations. | Welcome to the most exciting class on campus!

| All assignments must be submitted through Learning Suite. Note that waiting until the last minute to submit through Learning Suite can be unreliable, so plan to submit early. It is in your best interest to submit whatever you can before the deadline. Probably the best way to make sure you are not unpleasantly surprised is to submit incrementally: submit what you have early, and then continue to improve your work and resubmit as you make improvements, up until the deadline. | All assignments must be submitted through Learning Suite.

| Although your final class grade will not be available until the end of the term, a cumulative point total will be available online and will be updated regularly. You should check this periodically to ensure that my records are in accordance with the work you have done. Please bring any discrepancies to my attention immediately, as these things are usually easily resolved early and are often much more difficult as time passes. | Although your final class grade will not be available until the end of the term, a cumulative point total will be available online and will be updated regularly.

| You may work together with other members of the class; in fact, you are strongly encouraged to do so; however, do NOT turn in other people's work (of course, this includes material you might find on the internet). This is a fine line that may require some judgment on your part. Examples of acceptable collaboration: discussing projects and solutions with others in the class; posting questions and/or answers to questions on the class slack channel; comparing learning results and conclusions from programming assignments with other class members, using online API documentation to learn syntax, searching stackoverflow for examples of how to use a language feature. Unacceptable collaboration would be simply copying code from a friend (or the internet) or allowing someone else to copy code. | You may work together with other members of the class; in fact, you are strongly encouraged to do so; however, do NOT turn in other people's work (of course, this includes material you might find on the internet).

| BYU is committed to providing reasonable accommodation to qualified persons with disabilities. If you have any disability that may adversely affect your success in this course, please contact the University Accessibility Center at 422-2767. Services deemed appropriate will be coordinated with the student and instructor by that office. | BYU is committed to providing reasonable accommodation to qualified persons with disabilities.

| - | Creating a Diverse and Inclusive Environment | ||
| Our classroom participation and behavior are guided by our mission statement, the BYU honor code, and principles of Christian discipleship. It is imperative that we value and respect every person as a child of Heavenly Parents who has divine worth. Consequently, we need to take steps to listen to, learn from, and love one another by striving to consider thoughtfully the opinions of others and use language that is polite, considerate, and courteous even when we strongly disagree. It is essential to create an educational environment that ensures "the gift of personal dignity for every child of God”. This includes embracing one another compassionately and “eliminat[ing] any prejudice, including racism, sexism, and nationalism...regardless of age, personal circumstances, gender, sexual orientation, or other unique challenges.” It is vital to delight in individuality and welcome diverse perspectives and experiences as we “work tirelessly to build bridges of understanding rather than creating walls of segregation.” To accomplish these goals we seek unity in higher principles of equity, charity, collaboration, and inclusiveness in order to build an environment in which all students, faculty, and staff can participate in, contribute to, and benefit equally from the academic community. | Our classroom participation and behavior are guided by our mission statement, the BYU honor code, and principles of Christian discipleship.
