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.
