Course Description
Deep learning, a branch of artificial intelligence and machine learning, uses multilayered neural networks to create highly accurate prediction models for image recognition, object detection, language translation, speech recognition, and other tasks. In this course, students will use open source and industry-standard machine learning libraries to build and deploy deep learning models.
Students will build deep learning prediction models of different complexities, from simple linear logistic regression to major categories of neural networks including convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), long short-term memory (LSTMs), and gated recurrent units (GRUs).
By the end of the course, students will be proficient in best practices of using standard machine learning frameworks such as Pytorch, TensorFlow and Keras, and using datasets for solving common machine learning problems.
The class prepares students to pursue a career in data sciences and AI model development.
