The presentation was about the history and working behavior of Deep Learning. After the presentation, the attendees took a hands-on in Image Classification with DIGITS. This hands-on guided the attendees on how to create Deep Learning model for image classification using DIGITS, a deep learning development system from NVIDIA.

In the next session, the attendees took a self-paced lab in Object Detection with DIGITS. This lab enhanced the skills of attendees in using DIGITS for object detection problem. In the last session, the attendees have another lab for Deep Learning model development using TensorRT, a deployment library built by NVIDIA. This workshop was then closed by panel discussion led by Dr. Eng. Armin Lawi, M.Eng, Head of Computer Science Program, Hasanuddin University. The topic of the discussion is AI research collaboration strategy in Makassar.
