We implement a multilayer perceptron (MLP) character-level language model. In this event we also introduce many basics of machine learning (e.g. model training, learning rate tuning, hyperparameters, evaluation, train/dev/test splits, under/overfitting, etc.).

Bring your laptops with Jupyter.

This is advanced course, we assume that you have basic python, algebra and calculus knowledge.

Neural Networks #4: Activations & Gradients, BatchNorm.

We dive into some of the internals of MLPs with multiple layers and scrutinize the statistics of the forward pass activations, backward pass gradients, and some of the pitfalls when they are improperly scaled. We also look at the typical diagnostic tools and visualizations you'd want to use to understand the health of your deep network.

Neural Networks #5: Backpropagation training

We take the 2-layer MLP (with BatchNorm) from the previous event and backpropagate through it manually without using PyTorch autograd's loss.backward(): through the cross entropy loss, 2nd linear layer, tanh, batchnorm, 1st linear layer, and the embedding table. Along the way, we get a strong intuitive understanding about how gradients flow backwards through the compute graph and on the level of efficient Tensors, not just individual scalars like in micrograd. This helps build competence and intuition around how neural nets are optimized and sets you up to more confidently innovate on and debug modern neural networks.

We take the 2-layer MLP from the previous event and make it deeper with a tree-like structure, arriving at a convolutional neural network architecture similar to the WaveNet (2016) from DeepMind. Along the way we get a better sense of torch.nn and what it is and how it works under the hood.

Мы сделали робота для битвы роботов в Тбилиси и заняли первое место.

В воскресенье делимся впечатлениями, расскажем, что происходило за кулисами, посмотрим бои и обсудим все фатальные недостатки конструкции.

Ещё повозим робота по полу спейса, скормим ему старый макбук а сами поедим пиццу.

Напишем маленькое API, которое будет уязвимо к SQL-инъекции через параметр запроса. С помощью утилиты sqlmap проведем эксплуатацию уязвимости, а также напишем свою утилиту на python, которая будет автоматически извлекать данные посредством Time-Based подхода.

Берите с собой ноутбук, если хотите поковыряться сами.

Let's poke around a virtual machine with vulnerabilities. We'll leave the reverse shells, consider the main vectors of increasing privileges to root and try them out in practice. I'll give you access to the virtualbox virtual machine on the spot. Take your laptop with you if you want to poke around yourself.
