Deep Learning From Scratch

This comprehensive course is designed to guide you through the intricate world of deep learning, providing you with both the theoretical foundations and practical skills needed to excel in this cutting-edge field.

The journey begins with an Introduction to Deep Learning, where you will learn the key differences between machine learning and deep learning, setting the stage for more complex concepts. We’ll use real-world examples, such as the School Dataset, to illustrate function approximation and introduce neural networks.

Dive deeper into neural networks with topics like Fully Connected Networks (FCNs), where you’ll explore non-linearities and tunable parameters. You’ll gain a thorough understanding of Activation Functions, including Linear, Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU), Leaky ReLU, Sigmoid, Tanh, and Softmax functions.

Understanding the importance of the Cost Function and mastering the Gradient Descent Optimization Algorithm are crucial steps in your learning. We’ll explore the impact of the learning rate factor and demystify the processes inside a neural network, culminating in a comprehensive overview that puts everything together.

Mathematical foundations are essential for deep learning. This course covers Multivariate Functions and Partial Differentiation* the uses of gradients, the Chain Rule, and the Back Propagation Equations, ensuring you have the mathematical tools to succeed.

Advanced topics include the architecture and layers of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), the implementation of convolution, image classification, and the unique advantages of CNNs for image processing. You’ll also delve into Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs).

By the end of this course, you’ll have a robust understanding of deep learning and be well-equipped to tackle real-world problems with confidence. Join us and embark on your journey to becoming a deep learning expert!
