Machine Learning & Deep Learning

1. Introduction to Machine Learning and Deep Learning
In this topic, we will cover concepts like different types of Machine Learning algorithms (Supervised, Unsupervised, Reinforcement) and challenges in Machine Learning. We will see examples of solving the problems using the traditional approach and why Machine Learning algorithms give far better accuracy than the traditional approach. This topic will give you a brief introduction to both Machine Learning and Deep Learning world.
2. Data Preprocessing, Regression - Build end-to-end Machine Learning Project
We will start the course by learning concepts in Machine Learning. In this topic, we will build a machine learning model to predict housing pricing in California. By the end of this project, you will understand how to build machine learning pipelines to build a model. We will also cover concepts like data cleaning, preparing data for machine learning algorithms, exploring many different models, short-list the best one and fine-tuning the selected model
3. Classification
In this topic, we will train a model on the MNIST dataset to recognize handwritten digits. We will also learn various performance measures in classification like Confusion Matrix, Precision and Recall, and ROC Curve.
4. Machine Learning Algorithms
In this topic, we will learn various Machine Learning algorithms and concepts like Unsupervised Learning, Ensemble Learning, and Dimensionality Reduction
5. Introduction to Artifical Neural Networks with Keras
We will start the Deep Learning course with Artificial Neural Networks. We will learn about biological neurons, multilayer perceptrons, and back-propagation. We will implement a multilayer perceptron using Keras and visualize the runs and graphs using Tensorboard
6. Training Deep Neural Networks
In this topic, we will learn various challenges deep neural networks face while training like vanishing and exploding gradients. We will learn various techniques to solve these problems like reusing pre-trained layers, using faster optimizers and avoiding overfitting by regularization.
7. Custom Models and Training with TensorFlow
In this topic, we will dive deeper into TensorFlow and its lower level Python API. These lower-level Python APIs are useful when we need extra control like writing custom loss function, layers and many more.
8. Loading and Preprocessing Data with TensorFlow
Deep Learning systems are usually trained on very large datasets that may not fit in the RAM. In this topic, we will learn TensorFlow's Data API which helps in ingesting dataset and preprocessing it efficiently.
9. Deep Computer Vision using Convolutional Neural Network
In this topic, we will learn how Convolutional Neural Networks - CNNs achieve superhuman performance on complex visual tasks. Today CNNs power image search services, self-driving cars, automatic video classification systems and more. We will learn CNNs basic building blocks and how to implement them using TensorFlow and Keras
10. Processing Sequences Using RNNs and CNNs
Predicting the future is something we do all the time like predicting stock prices. In this topic, we will learn how Recurrent Neural Networks - RNN predict the future, the problem they face like limited short-term memory and solutions to these problems - LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) and GRU cells
11. Natural Language Processing Concepts and RNNs
Using Natural Language Processing we build systems that can read and write natural language. In this topic, we will learn different NLP techniques and generate Shakespearean text using a Character RNN.
12. Representation Learning & Generative Learning Using autoencoders and GANs
Autoencoders are artificial neural networks capable of learning dense representations of input data without any supervision. For example, we could train an autoencoder on pictures of faces and it can then generate new faces. In this topic, we will learn different types of autoencoders and generative models.
13. Reinforcement Learning
Reinforcement Learning is one of the most exciting fields of Machine Learning. Using Reinforcement Learning AlphaGo(system) defeated the world champion at the game of Go. Reinforcement Learning is an area of Machine Learning aimed at creating agents capable of taking actions in an environment in a way that maximizes rewards over time. In this topic, we will learn various concepts in Reinforcement Learning and experiment with OpenAI Gym.
