Deep Learning is an advancement in machine learning technology that uses neural networks for building prediction models. In this course, students use TensorFlow, an open-source and industry standard library for machine learning developed by Google Brain.
TensorFlow allows distribution of computation across CPUs and multiple GPUs on a single computer—an enhancement that enables development of high-performance prediction models.
Students will build prediction models of different complexities, from simple linear logistic regression to convolutional neural network (CNN) and recurrent neural network (RNN) with long Short-term memory (LSTM).
By the end of the class, students have a working deep learning environment and sample projects. The class prepares students to pursue a career in data sciences.
Topics Include:
Skills Needed: Moderate level of computer programming ability in Python and basic understanding of machine learning models.
Note(s): Students are required to bring Laptops for classroom work. For best performance: students are asked to reinstall Python 3+ version of Anaconda distribution from https://www.anaconda.com/on their machines, if it is already loaded.
