Nikolas Andreakos is a PhD candidate at the University of Lincoln, working on developing computational models of associative memory formation and recognition in the mammalian hippocampus. Nikolas attended the CVML Short Course: Machine Learning and Deep Neural Networks which took place as a live web course on 17-18th February 2021. This short course was hosted by Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH).
About CVML Short Course: Machine Learning and Deep Neural Networks
This two-day short course focused on Machine Learning and Deep Neural Network theory, their applications in the below-mentioned diverse domains, and new challenges ahead.
- Autonomous Systems (cars, drones, vessels),
- Media Content and Art Creation (including fake data creation/detection), Social Media Analytics,
- Medical Imaging and Diagnosis,
- Financial Engineering (forecasting and analytics), Big Data Analytics,
- Broadcasting, Internet and Communications,
- Robotics/Control
- Intelligent Human-Machine Interaction, Anthropocentric (human-centred) Computing,
- Smart Cities/Buildings and Assisted living.
- Scientific Modeling and Analytics.
The course consisted of two parts (A, B), and each of them included 8 one-hour lectures and related material (slide pdf, lecture videos, understanding questionnaires).
Part A lectures (8 hours) provided an in-depth presentation of Deep Neural Networks, which are at the forefront of AI advances today, starting with an introduction to Machine Learning.
Part B lectures (8 hours) provided a fan in-depth presentation of Machine Learning to complement DNNs.

When asked about his experience, Nikolas said:
“Overall, it was a very well structured course and helped me to extend and strengthen my knowledge in ML and DL. Now I feel more comfortable using this knowledge in my project since computational neuroscience and ML could drive each other forward by using ideas from one domain to another”.
Below the certificate which was provided to Nikolas after he completed 16 questionnaires.
