Courses In This Program

Course 1 4 weeks

Introduction to Deep Learning

This course covers foundational deep learning theory and practice. We begin with how to think about deep learning and when it is the right tool to use. The course covers the fundamental algorithms of deep learning, deep learning architecture and goals, and interweaves the theory with implementation in PyTorch.

Course 2 4 weeks

Convolutional Neural Networks

This course introduces Convolutional Neural Networks, the most widely used type of neural networks specialized in image processing. You will learn the main characteristics of CNNs that make them so useful for image processing, their inner workings, and how to build them from scratch to complete image classification tasks. You will learn what are the most successful CNN architectures, and what are their main characteristics. You will apply these architectures to custom datasets using transfer learning. You will also learn about autoencoders, a very important architecture at the basis of many modern CNNs, and how to use them for anomaly detection as well as image denoising. Finally, you will learn how to use CNNs for object detection and semantic segmentation.

Course 3 4 weeks

RNNs and Transformers

This course covers multiple RNN architectures and discusses design patterns for those models. You'll also learn about transformer architectures.

Course 4 4 weeks

Building Generative Adversarial Networks

Learn to understand and implement a Deep Convolutional GAN (generative adversarial network) to generate realistic images, with Ian Goodfellow, the inventor of GANs, and Jun-Yan Zhu, the creator of CycleGANs.
