Natural Language Processing : from tf-idf to transformers

This workshop introduces some theoretical and practical aspects of recent Natural Language Processing techniques. We will demystify how computers can process and understand language by tackling the fundamental issue of text representation. We will go through different ways of representing text data from tf-idf to contextualized word embeddings. Finally, we will briefly study the transformer architecture and finish with a text classification example.

Deep learning for plant disease: classification and visualization

Food security represents one of the biggest challenges humankind is currently facing. Plant diseases and pests are a real threat to feed the entire world. To tackle this challenge, agricultural experts use mostly visual symptoms to diagnose plant diseases. However, manual diagnosis based on human expertise is difficult to scale and meet farmers’ demands. This workshop introduces the automation of plant disease classification using deep learning. Particularly, the objective is to build a deep CNN model able to recognize the pant disease based on images. Despite the excellent performance of CNN in image classification, it suffers from a lack of transparency, limiting its usability in practice. Therefore, the second objective of this workshop is the implementation of a CNN visualization algorithm in the image classification pipeline.
