Deep Learning for Beginners in New Perspective 2022

What you’ll learn
Learn how deep learning REALLY works from theory to REAL-WORLD practice with vivid demo
Learn how to link theory with coding practice with easy pytorch
Leverage and code deep learning models with Google Colab and GPU
Learn how feedforward neural network, convolutional neural network and recurrent neural network work by hands-on step by step code explanation
Three major projects cover the applications in deep learning from insurance, image recognition and sentiment analysis (NOT toy data)

Requirements
basic programming knowledge in python(e.g., function, class, list) with a bit of ML related toolbox such as sklearn
some math concepts and skill with high school level. The concept of one derivative is a plus but not mandatory is

Description
The course is for all interested in accessing the deep learning field in a much easy way. Especially, the course is designed for deep learning beginners with only basic knowledge in python and a bit of expertise in data preprocessing and machine learning. The course can also be used for intermediate-level students for a complete review in theory and code practice in three major real-world projects. The course uses new perspectives to guide how to learn deep learning from theory to practice quickly and map each piece of the theory of deep learning into coding practice. The three main projects introduce applying deep learning methods on different tasks in regular tabular data, images (computer vision) and languages/text (NLP).

This course will guide you

How artificial neuron is proposed, the basic motivation of artificial intelligence.

How a neural network is composed and perform computation

The general structure of a neural network

The general methods on building a deep neural network

How classification and regression are performed by neural network

How to build a neural network on regular tabular data by insurance quote data analysis

How to build neural work on image data

How to model image data with convolutional neural network

How to model sequence/language/text data with recurrent neural network

How to build the entire pipeline for all neural network models step by step with theory-code mapping demo

How to implement deep neural network models in PyTorch, an extremely popular open-source framework that has been enthusiastically embraced by the deep learning community

How to implement and develop training deep learning models on Google Colab with Free GPU resources

All course code demos are shared through Colab with easy access and reproducibility (A Gmail account is all you need). The code demo mainly focuses on how to use high-level APIs provided by PyTorch and shows you why and how the code maps the fundamental principles. In the code demo, we show you where you should go back to review the relevant theory with vivid snapshots in place.

Even if the demo is presented in a very straightforward way, I highly recommend that you can reproduce all steps by yourself. Slower paces at the beginning will make faster in the future! The code only becomes yours only after you can write them by yourself! Therefore, please make progress step by step without skipping any videos/materials, and be PATIENT!

See you in the class, and I am more than happy to answer your questions and help you along your deep learning journey!
