Course overview

Deep learning is a discipline in artificial intelligence that has recently garnered a lot of interest. It’s used to solve complex problems in various fields such as computer vision, natural language processing, robotics, and others that might be difficult to solve using traditional machine learning methods.

In this course, you’ll start with the fundamentals of deep learning, and you’ll explore the TensorFlow library. Then, you’ll learn to build, train, and evaluate deep learning regression and classification models using the TensorFlow framework.

Best of all, you’ll learn by doing — you’ll practice and get feedback directly in the browser. At the end of the course, you’ll apply your new skills to a project to build a deep neural network model that can predict the listing gains of IPOs on the Indian market.

Key skills

  • Explaining the major concepts and terminology used in deep learning
  • Performing data preprocessing and exploratory analysis to prepare data for modeling
  • Building and evaluating deep learning regression models using TensorFlow’s Sequential and Functional APIs in Keras
  • Building a deep neural network to predict listing gains of IPOs on the Indian market

Business Analyst at Aditi Consulting

“Dataquest starts at the most basic level, so a beginner can understand the concepts. I tried learning to code before, using Codecademy and Coursera. I struggled because I had no background in coding, and I was spending a lot of time Googling. Dataquest helped me actually learn.”

Machine Learning Engineer at Twitter

“I liked the interactive environment on Dataquest. The material was clear and well organized. I spent more time practicing then watching videos and it made me want to keep learning.”

“I really love learning on Dataquest. I looked into a couple of other options and I found that they were much too handhold-y and fill in the blank relative to Dataquest’s method. The projects on Dataquest were key to getting my job. I doubled my income!”
