MLT Workshop: Convolution Operation

Machine Learning Tokyo is organizing a new deep learning workshop, an Introduction to Convolution Operation @Rakuten. We'll learn theoretical concepts underlying convolutional neural networks as well as some of the most important CNN architectures, including small interactive implementation blocks.

This workshop is free of charge and limited to 60 seats. For Rakuten security reasons, every participant needs to register with full name and contact details here: https://goo.gl/forms/2RwGwvTmrTd8Lm893
