Courses

This course: http://cs231n.stanford.edu/ is fantastic. It covers convolutional neural networks, state of the art research and models (as of 2015 when it was given). There are a lot of ideas and techniques covered in this course that are well worth trying on data at SLAC. Every lecture (14 in all, I believe) is video-ed and available on youtube, for instance youtube: cs231n lecture 9: understanding and visualizing convolutional neural networks
