Intro to Deep Learning 2018 - Lesson 3

Prerequisites:
This 7-week course is designed for anyone with at least a year of coding experience, and some memory of high-school math. You will start with step one—learning how to get a GPU server online suitable for deep learning—and go all the way through to creating state of the art, highly practical, models for computer vision, natural language processing, and recommendation systems. There are around 20 hours of lessons, and you should plan to spend around 10 hours a week for 7 weeks to complete the material. The course is based on lessons recorded during the first certificate course at The Data Institute at USF.

TODAYS LESSON:
3—IMPROVING YOUR IMAGE Classifier
We explain convolutional networks from several different angles: the theory, a video visualization, and an Excel demo. You’ll see how to use deep learning for structured/tabular data, such as time-series sales data.

We also teach a couple of key bits of math that you really need for deep learning: exponentiation and the logarithm. You will learn how to download data to your deep learning server, how to submit to a Kaggle competition, and key differences between PyTorch and Keras/TensorFlow.
