CS231n: Deep Learning for Computer Vision

The definitive computer vision deep learning course, with public notes and assignments on CNNs, training tricks, detection, segmentation, generative models, and vision transformers. Self-study it when you want to build vision systems from scratch rather than only call APIs.
