Deep Vision and Graphics

This repo supplements course "Deep Vision and Graphics" taught at YSDA @fall'25. The course is the successor of "Deep Learning" course taught at YSDA in 2015-2021. New course focuses more on applications of deep learning for computer vision.

Lecture and seminar materials for each week are in ./week* folders. Homeworks are in ./homework* folders.
