Machine Learning: Create a Neural Network that Predicts whether an Image is a Car or Airplane.
- Complete a Neural Network Model that will be used to evaluate whether a Picture is an Airplane or Automobile.
Practice using One Hot Encoding to build a classifier.
Practice evaluating model performance.
In this 1-hour long project-based course, you will learn how to build a Neural Network Model using Keras and the MNIST Data Set. By the end of the course you will have built a model that will recognize the digits of hand written numbers. You will also be exposed to One Hot Encoding, Neural Network Architecture, Loss Optimizers and Testing of the Model's performance. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.
Skills you will develop
Learn step-by-step
In a video that plays in a split-screen with your work area, your instructor will walk you through these steps:
Task 1: In this task the Learner will be introduced to the Course Objectives, which is to how to execute a Neural Network using raw images from the Internet.
Task 2: The Learners will get practice Loading Images.
Task 3: The Learner will get experience pre-processing images using the EBImage package in R.
Task 4: The Learner will reshape the images using a Keras function called array_reshape().
Task 5: The Learner will get practice creating Testing and Training sets.
Task 6: The Learner will then create a classifier using one hot encoding.
Task 7: The Learner will then build out the architecture for the Neural Network. Rectified Linear Unit ("RELU") and SoftMax will be used.
Task 8: The Learner will then build out a loss optimizer function using cross_entropy.
Task 9: The Learner will test to see how the model performed using a Confusion Matrix.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What will I get if I purchase a Guided Project?
By purchasing a Guided Project, you'll get everything you need to complete the Guided Project including access to a cloud desktop workspace through your web browser that contains the files and software you need to get started, plus step-by-step video instruction from a subject matter expert.
Are Guided Projects available on desktop and mobile?
Because your workspace contains a cloud desktop that is sized for a laptop or desktop computer, Guided Projects are not available on your mobile device.
Who are the instructors for Guided Projects?
Guided Project instructors are subject matter experts who have experience in the skill, tool or domain of their project and are passionate about sharing their knowledge to impact millions of learners around the world.
Can I download the work from my Guided Project after I complete it?
You can download and keep any of your created files from the Guided Project. To do so, you can use the “File Browser” feature while you are accessing your cloud desktop.
What is the refund policy?
Guided Projects are not eligible for refunds. See our full refund policy.
Is financial aid available?
Financial aid is not available for Guided Projects.
Can I audit a Guided Project and watch the video portion for free?
Auditing is not available for Guided Projects.
How much experience do I need to do this Guided Project?
At the top of the page, you can press on the experience level for this Guided Project to view any knowledge prerequisites. For every level of Guided Project, your instructor will walk you through step-by-step.
Can I complete this Guided Project right through my web browser, instead of installing special software?
Yes, everything you need to complete your Guided Project will be available in a cloud desktop that is available in your browser.
What is the learning experience like with Guided Projects?
You'll learn by doing through completing tasks in a split-screen environment directly in your browser. On the left side of the screen, you'll complete the task in your workspace. On the right side of the screen, you'll watch an instructor walk you through the project, step-by-step.
