Course Details

This course gives and understanding of the theoretical basis underlying neural networks and deep learning. Furthermore, the course includes implementation of neural components and as well as applying deep learning on real-world data sets using modern deep learning packages.

“When engaged in deeper learning, students think critically and communicate and work with others effectively across all subjects. Students learn to self-direct their own education and to adopt what is known as 'academic mindsets' and they learn to be lifelong learners.”

Get Started with Deep Learning

To get started with a career in Deep Learning, an individual is expected to possess the following skills:

• Basic understanding of a programming language like Python/R/Scala.
• Since most deep learning concepts are mathematically rigorous, you must have a strong foundation in advanced mathematical concepts.
• In-depth knowledge of building and deploying machine learning projects.
• Ability to convert a data science problem into a deep learning problem.
• Good communication skills to convey the results of a deep learning based solution.
