about the subject

Deep learning is an emerging artificial intelligence (AI) technique that uses sophisticated analysis structures called neural networks to make accurate associations within a set of data. In particular, deep learning systems can learn by processing raw data without human-coded rules or domain knowledge. These systems are particularly adept at language and image classification, where a pattern may represent an abstract idea like feeling, intent, or even the general concept of what a cat or a dog looks like. These systems are also excellent for making predictions, such as how customers might behave or long-range weather forecasts. There’s also awesome potential for medical image analysis, highly-customized therapy for patients with developmental challenges, turning open surgeries into minimally-invasive ones, and better disaster recovery!

about the video

With an emphasis on simplicity, Deep Learning Crash Course teaches you to build machine learning models, the part of a system that makes classifications and predictions. You’ll also learn how to apply algorithms that train the model to improve based on the data it encounters. Your video guide Oliver Zeigermann launches your learning with a spotlight on how deep learning is different from other programming and data analysis techniques. You’ll work through a complete project and learn to use the most popular Python-based deep learning tools, including scikit-learn, Keras, and TensorFlow 2.0. All the tools are free and open source. The incredible machine learning library Keras has a minimalistic, instantly-comfortable API that handles most of the math, so you’ll get the maximum return on your time. As you work your way through this practical video course, you’ll gain skills like training a neural network, creating and executing TensorFlow code, encoding your data, and making your model more general. By the end, you’ll know how to evaluate your results, debug and improve your model, and deploy it for production.
