Pozvánka na podzimní HPC kurzy

The Czech National Competence Center in HPC is inviting you to autumn courses:

Basic Quantum Computing Algorithms and Their Implementation in Cirq

Quantum computers are based on a completely different principle than classical computers. This course aims to explain this difference by showing how basic quantum computing algorithms work in practice. Training is focused on the theoretical foundations, mathematical description, and practical testing of the resulting quantum circuits.

Date:  5–6 September 2023, 9 am to 4 pm

Mastering Transformers: From Building Blocks to Real-World Applications

For the past five years, the amount of transformer-based architectures has grown significantly and continues to dominate the deep learning domain. They can be considered another leap innovation that further pushes deep neural network performance and scalability boundaries. They have been demonstrated with the most significant models using over half a trillion parameters and scaled up to thousands of GPUs.
In this course, participants learn the building blocks of transformer architectures to apply them to their projects. These novel methods will be differentiated against existing methods, showing their advantages and disadvantages. Different hands-on exercises give the participants room to explore how the transformers work in various fields of application.
