These deep learning algorithms are powered by techniques like Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN), Long Short Term Memory (LSTM), etc.  

If you’re a beginner in deep learning, or you are looking to hone your existing deep learning and neural network skills, you must have asked these questions:

  • What is deep learning?

  • What are the different types of neural networks?

  • What part do these neural networks play in the deep learning space?

  • When should you choose convolutional neural networks (CNN) over recurrent neural networks (RNN) - and vice versa?

  • How can you build deep learning models in Python?

  • What is forward propagation? And what is backpropagation?

  • What are the different loss functions in deep learning?

  • What are the different deep learning frameworks?

  • TensorFlow vs. PyTorch vs. Keras - which deep learning framework should you choose?

The course is designed to answer all the above questions in an applied first methodology.
