Mini-Tutorial 1: Data Integrity For Deep Learning Models

Presenters: Victoria Gerardi and John Cilli (US Army, CCDC Armaments Center) Deep learning models are built from algorithm frameworks that fit parameters over a large set of structured historical examples. Model robustness relies heavily on the accuracy and quality of the input training datasets. This mini-tutorial seeks to explore the practical implications of data quality issues when attempting to build reliable and accurate deep learning models. The tutorial will review the basics of neural networks, model building, and then dive deep into examples and data quality considerations using practical examples. An understanding of data integrity and data quality is pivotal for verification and validation of deep learning models, and this tutorial will provide students with a foundation of this topic.
