Course 2 • 4 weeks
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.
Lesson 1
Meet your instructor, get an overview of the course, and find a few interesting resources in this introductory lesson.
Lesson 2
This introductory lesson on Deep Learning covers how experts think about deep learning and how to know when deep learning is the right tool for the job, including some examples.
Lesson 3
Beginning with PyTorch and moving into both Error Functions, Gradient Descent, and Backpropagation, this lesson provides an overview of foundational neural network concepts.
Lesson 4
This introduction to neural networks explains how algorithms inspired by the human brain operate and puts to use those concepts when designing a neural network to solve particular problems.
Lesson 5
Learn how to train neural networks and avoid overfitting or underfitting by employing techniques like Early Stopping, Regularization, Dropout, Local Minima, and Random Restart!
Lesson 6 • Project
In this project, you will use your skills in designing and training neural networks to classify handwritten digits using the well-known MNIST dataset.
Course 3 • 4 weeks
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.
Lesson 1
In this lesson we will look at the main applications of CNNs, understand professional roles involved in the development of a CNN-based application, and learn about the history of CNNs.
Lesson 2
In this lesson we will recap how to use a Multi-Layer Perceptron for image classification, understand the limitations of this approach, and learn how CNNs can overcome these limitations.
Lesson 3
In this lesson we will study in depth the basic layers used in CNNs, build a CNN from scratch in PyTorch, use it to classify images, improve its performance, and export it for production.
Lesson 4
In this lesson we will learn about key CNN architectures and their innovations, and apply multiple ways of adapting them to our use cases with transfer learning.
Lesson 5
In this lesson we will design and train linear and CNN-based autoencoders for anomaly detection and for image denoising.
Lesson 6
In this lesson we will study applications of CNNs beyond image classification. We will train and evaluate an object detection model as well as a semantic segmentation model on custom datasets.
Lesson 7 • Project
In this project, you will apply the skills you have acquired in the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) course to build a landmark classifier.
Course 4 • 3 hours
This course covers multiple RNN architectures and discusses design patterns for those models. You'll also learn about transformer architectures.
