Course Description

Discover Deep Learning Applications

Deep learning is the machine learning technique behind the most exciting capabilities in robotics, natural language processing, image recognition, and artificial intelligence. In this 4-hour course, you’ll gain hands-on practical knowledge of how to apply your Python skills to deep learning with the Keras 2.0 library.

Explore Keras Models with a Library Contributor

Taught by ex-Google data scientist and Keras contributor, Dan Becker, this deep learning course explores neural network models and how you can generate predictions with them. The first chapters will grow your understanding of both forward and backward propagation and how they work in practice.

Keras library is a Python library that can help you develop and review deep learning models. Like many Python libraries, it's free, open-source and very user friendly. You’ll start by creating a Keras model and will learn how to compile, fit, and classify it before making predictions. Once you’ve completed this course, you’ll have all the tools you need to build deep neural networks and start experimenting with wider and deeper networks over time.

Delve Further into Deep Learning

This course is part of several machine learning and deep learning tracks, offering you clear pathways to build your skills and experience in this area once you’ve completed the introductory course, whether you want to complete a personal project or move towards a career as a Machine Learning Scientist.

    Optimizing a neural network with backward propagation

    Learn how to optimize the predictions generated by your neural networks. You'll use a method called backward propagation, which is one of the most important techniques in deep learning. Understanding how it works will give you a strong foundation to build on in the second half of the course.
