Path overview
On this path, you’ll learn all about deep learning, including how to build, train, and evaluate models with the TensorFlow framework.
You’ll then learn how to conduct forecasts on real data by applying sequential neural network models to time series forecasting.
Next, you’ll learn how to use TensorFlow tools and libraries to work on a range of NLP use cases, including text visualization, sentiment analysis models, and more.
Finally, you’ll learn how to apply convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to computer vision tasks so that you can teach computers to see and interpret digital images.
Best of all, you’ll learn by doing — you’ll practice and get feedback directly in the browser. You’ll apply your skills to several guided projects with realistic business scenarios to build your portfolio and prepare for your next interview.
