Introduction to Deep Learning & Neural Networks with Keras

This course introduces deep learning and neural networks with the Keras library. In this course, you’ll be equipped with foundational knowledge and practical skills to build and evaluate deep learning models. You’ll begin this course by gaining foundational knowledge of neural networks, including forward and backpropagation, gradient descent, and activation functions. You will explore the challenges of deep network training, such as the vanishing gradient problem, and learn how to overcome them using techniques like careful activation function selection. The hands-on labs in this course allow you to build regression and classification models, dive into advanced architectures, such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), transformers, and autoencoders, and utilize pretrained models for enhanced performance. The course culminates in a final project where you’ll apply what you’ve learned to create a model that classifies images and generates captions. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to design, implement, and evaluate a variety of deep learning models and be prepared to take your next steps in the field of machine learning.

Really well explained. For some lectures you might need to refer outside the course, but mostly well understandable for an intermediate level student.

The course is quite complex for a person who does not have knowledge of algebra, statistics and calculus, the final project was good because it was challenging.

try to add more case study problems and solve it on lectures so that we can understand how to start (initialize) the coding part when we receive any real world problem.

A good course. Could be better if it was explained how to select the optimal number of layers and nodes. This was not covered and explained anywhere. Overall it was good.

Very good course. If we could have the answers to the projects after submission, that would help a lot. Please see if same if possible. Thanks,Danen

Good practical examples for ANN. It could be improved the theoretical part and compare better the architecture of the networks with the algorithms and code for Keras
