Hi everyone! I'm Merishna, a data scientist at The Click Reader and welcome to this course on The Theory of Deep Learning.
Learn how Deep Learning is inspired by the human brain.
Learn what are neurons in Deep Learning.
Learn how a neuron computes.
Learn the significance of various activation functions: Sigmoid, Tanh, ReLU and Leaky ReLU.
Learn how a neuron learns using Gradient Descent.
Learn about Deep Neural Networks and they make predictions.
Learn how does a Deep Neural Network learn using Gradient Descent and Back-propagation.
Link to additional learning materials.
Learn The Theory of Deep Learning in the most comprehensive and up-to-date course on the topic created by The Click Reader.
In this course, you will learn the inspiration behind deep learning and how it relates to the human brain. You will also gain clear knowledge about the building blocks of neural networks (called neurons) along with how they compute, make predictions, and learn.
We will then move on to learning the theory of deep neural networks, including how data is fed into it, how neurons compute the data, and how predictions are made. We'll end the course by learning how deep neural networks learn/train using a combination of feed-forward and back-propagation cycles.
Also, do not worry if you're not great at mathematics since we've covered all the necessary mathematical concepts in the course itself along with real-life examples.
After going through this course, you will gain all the know-how of how to build your own deep neural network from scratch.
