Camp is part of the initiatives to support the UAE’s strategic directions in the science and technology fields
The Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC) recently announced the opening of registration for the Deep Learning Camp for university students, which will be held virtually from 18th to 20th August 2020.
The Deep Learning Camp is part of the initiatives of the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre to support the UAE’s strategic directions in the science and technology fields, promoting the building of a generation capable of adopting advanced technologies to develop different solutions to tackle future challenges.
“The UAE’s ambition to strengthen its leadership in the space sector is clear, as the country is taking prominent initiatives in space technology and enhancing its role in this field. This has acted as a catalyst for younger generations to study such scientific disciplines,” explained Yousuf Hamad Al Shaibani, Director General, MBRSC.
“Through these initiatives, we are working to prepare the youth and develop their skills to keep pace with the future of deep learning and Artificial intelligence technologies,” observed Saeed AlMansoori, Head of Application Development & Analysis Section, MBRSC.
The Deep Learning Camp is divided into theoretical and practical sessions. The theoretical sessions deal with the definition of the principles of deep learning, its applications and the techniques used therein, with focus on satellite image analysis.
The practical sessions will involve learning the applied aspects of deep learning through specialized machine learning applications, including Python Programming with Google Colab.
