The event is designed to accommodate various levels of expertise, so that both novice programmers and more experienced media artists and designers can learn from it. The first day will describe core concepts in machine learning in an introductory manner. The second day will introduce certain tools that creative professionals can use to apply machine learning in their projects. The third day will cover intermediate applications, including the use of neural networks for style transfer. The final two days will cover more advanced material for professionals with a little more experience, such as for instance Generative Adversarial Networks. This material, while more advanced, still relies on terminal commands that are reasonably easy to learn by anyone who has attended the previous three days of the workshop.
