Deep Learning Fundamentals with PyTorch and FiftyOne
NVIDIA DLI Certification Workshop for AcademiaApril 5-6, 2025 | 10 AM – 5 PM CET
About the Workshop
Note: This course is only available to university students, researchers and teaching staff. A valid university email address is required to obtain a certificate.
This two day workshop is an extension of NVIDIA’s DLI Deep Learning Fundamentals Course.
Learn to implement neural networks for image classification from scratch using PyTorch. Learn about stochastic gradient descent, multilayer perceptrons, convolutional neural networks, and transformers. We will explore data augmentation, workflow management, and dataset curation using FiftyOne, a powerful open source tool for image dataset curation.
On the first day we will focus on building and training neural networks with PyTorch.
On the second day we will focus on visual dataset curation with FiftyOne and iterative improvement of image classification models.
Instructor
Antonio Rueda-Toicen, an AI Engineer in Berlin, has extensive experience in deploying machine learning models and has taught over 300 professionals. He is currently a Research Scientist at the Hasso Plattner Institute. Antonio is a certified instructor of deep learning and diffusion models at NVIDIA’s Deep Learning Institute.

About the Workshop
Join us for a 12-part, hands-on series that teaches you how to work with images, build and train models, and explore tasks like image classification, segmentation, object detection, and image generation. Each session combines straightforward explanations with practical coding in PyTorch and FiftyOne, allowing you to learn core skills in computer vision and apply them to real-world tasks.
In this session, we’ll focus on multi-label classification for real-world imagery. Build a model that identifies multiple environmental labels from Amazon satellite images, applying binary cross-entropy for training and analyzing predictions with FiftyOne.
These are hands-on maker workshops that make use of GitHub Codespaces, Kaggle notebooks, and Google Colab environments, so no local installation is required (though you are welcome to work locally if preferred!)

About the Workshop
Want greater visibility into the quality of your computer vision datasets and models? Then join us for this free 90-minute, hands-on workshop to learn how to leverage the open source FiftyOne computer vision toolset. At the end of the workshop you’ll be able to:
- Visualize complex datasets
- Explore embeddings
- Analyze and improve models
- Perform advanced data curation
- Integrations
This workshop will explore the importance of taking a data-centric approach to computer vision workflows. We will start with importing and exploring visual data, then move to querying and filtering. Next, we’ll look at ways to extend FiftyOne’s functionality and simplify tasks using plugins and native integrations. We’ll generate candidate ground truth labels, and then wrap things up by evaluating the results of fine tuning a foundational model.
Along the way, we will show you the power of combining the FiftyOne SDK with visualizations in the FiftyOne App. At the conclusion of the workshop we will walk through an advanced demo based on a 3D view reconstruction workflow.
Prerequisites: working knowledge of Python and basic computer vision concepts.
All attendees will get access to the tutorials, videos, and code examples used in the workshop
