Deep Learning has received a lot of attention over the past few years and has been employed successfully by companies like Google, Microsoft, IBM, Facebook, Twitter etc. to solve a wide range of problems in Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing. In this course we will learn about the building blocks used in these Deep Learning based solutions. Specifically, we will learn about feedforward neural networks, convolutional neural networks, recurrent neural networks and attention mechanisms. We will also look at various optimization algorithms such as Gradient Descent, Nesterov Accelerated Gradient Descent, Adam, AdaGrad and RMSProp which are used for training such deep neural networks. At the end of this course students would have knowledge of deep architectures used for solving various Vision and NLP tasks
INTENDED AUDIENCE: Any Interested LearnersPREREQUISITES: Working knowledge of Linear Algebra, Probability Theory. It would be beneficial if the participants have
done a course on Machine Learning.

    The entire learning experience was great. The course is a package of models that helps us to build different networks. It gives an expanded view of FFNN, CNN and RNN. The course makes you get a thorough understanding of how each and every type of network works . It also lets you know the different tricks and tips that one should be aware of while designing a neural network to get top notch performance. It also provides at the end the various applications of what is being learnt from the course. It is an amazing course and it is worth taking it to explore the DEEP DEPTHS OF DEEP LEARNING.

    On top of everything, THE TEACHING IS GREAT.

    Happy learning!!!
