Covid-Sars-2 presents us with new challenges. For this reason we decided to move our workshops online!
If you are a student or researcher interested in learning the Fundamentals of Deep Learning and Accelerated Computing, no matter where you live, sign up for one of the upcoming events. We are waiting for you!
NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute (DLI) offers hands-on training for developers, data scientists, and researchers looking to solve challenging problems with deep learning and accelerated computing.
NVIDIA DLI and University of Salerno (Dept. of Innovation Systems) are excited to announce, for the third year in a row, the 2020 series of practical Deep Learning and Accelerated Computing workshops exclusively for verifiable academic students, staff, and researchers.
