Course Overview
Neural networks have enjoyed several waves of popularity over the past half-century. The many applications of neural networks include apps that identify people in photos, automated vision systems for large-scale object recognition, smart home appliances that recognize continuous, natural speech, self-driving cars, and software that translates from any language to any other language. In this course, students will learn the fundamental principles and concepts of neural networks and state-of-the-art approaches to deep learning using in-demand Python packages, such as TensorFlow and PyTorch. Students will learn to design neural network architectures and training methods using hands-on assignments and will perform comprehensive final projects in this course.
