What you'll learn

To describe what Deep Learning is in a simple yet accurate way
To explain how deep learning can be used to build predictive models
To distinguish which practical applications can benefit from deep learning
To install and use Python and Keras to build deep learning models
To apply deep learning to solve supervised and unsupervised learning problems involving images, text, sound, time series and tabular data.
To build, train and use fully connected, convolutional and recurrent neural networks
To look at the internals of a deep learning model without intimidation and with the ability to tweak its parameters
To train and run models in the cloud using a GPU
To estimate training costs for large models
To re-use pre-trained models to shortcut training time and cost (transfer learning)

Requirements

Knowledge of Python, familiarity with control flow (if/else, for loops) and pythonic constructs (functions, classes, iterables, generators)
Use of bash shell (or equivalent command prompt) and basic commands to copy and move files
Basic knowledge of linear algebra (what is a vector, what is a matrix, how to calculate dot product)
Use of ssh to connect to a cloud computer

Description

This course is designed to provide a complete introduction to Deep Learning. It is aimed at beginners and intermediate programmers and data scientists who are familiar with Python and want to understand and apply Deep Learning techniques to a variety of problems.

We start with a review of Deep Learning applications and a recap of Machine Learning tools and techniques. Then we introduce Artificial Neural Networks and explain how they are trained to solve Regression and Classification problems.

Over the rest of the course we introduce and explain several architectures including Fully Connected, Convolutional and Recurrent Neural Networks, and for each of these we explain both the theory and give plenty of example applications.

This course is a good balance between theory and practice. We don't shy away from explaining mathematical details and at the same time we provide exercises and sample code to apply what you've just learned.

The goal is to provide students with a strong foundation, not just theory, not just scripting, but both. At the end of the course you'll be able to recognize which problems can be solved with Deep Learning, you'll be able to design and train a variety of Neural Network models and you'll be able to use cloud computing to speed up training and improve your model's performance.

Who this course is for:

Software engineers who are curious about data science and about the Deep Learning buzz and want to get a better understanding of it
Data scientists who are familiar with Machine Learning and want to develop a strong foundational knowledge of deep learning

awesome tutorial, nice tutorial to kickstart for deep deep learning, but i found that there are over thousands of questions not answered yet on QA, even i posted many questions not found any response since ages...why ????

CEO & Chief Data Scientist at Catalit Data Science.

Author of the Zero to Deep Learning book and bootcamp. I work at the cutting edge of machine and deep learning training.

I help Fortune 500 companies to up-skill in AI through intensive training programs and strategic advisory.

Before that, I was co-founder and Chief Data Officer at Spire, a YC-backed company that invented the first consumer wearable device capable of continuously tracking respiration and physical activity.

I have a joint Ph.D. in Physics and Biology from University of Padua and École Normale Supérieure in Paris.

I love mountains, playing music and cuban salsa.
