Deep Learning is a powerful AI approach that uses multi-layered artificial neural networks to deliver state-of-the-art accuracy in tasks such as object detection, speech recognition, and language translation. Using deep learning, computers can learn and recognize patterns from data that are considered too complex or subtle for expert-written software. 

Applications for natural language processing (NLP) have exploded in the pastdecade. With the proliferation AI assistants and organizations infusing their businesses with more interactive human-machine experiences, understanding how NLP techniques can be used to manipulate analyze, and generate text-based data is essential.

The one-week course focuses on parallel programming with the Message Passing Interface (MPI), OpenMP and CUDA. A general introduction into HPC and its benefits will be presented and the different parallel programming paradigms will be duly explained allowing participants to write parallel applications that can fully exploit modern HPC hardware.
