Fundamentals of Neural Networks: Build up your intuition of the fundamental building blocks of Neural Networks

Learning can be supervised, semi-supervised or unsupervised. Deep-learning architectures such as deep neural networks, deep belief networks, deep reinforcement learning, recurrent neural networks, and convolutional neural networks have been applied to fields including computer vision, speech recognition, natural language processing, machine translation, bioinformatics, drug design, medical image analysis, material inspection, and board game programs, where they have produced results comparable to and in some cases surpassing human expert performance. This course covers the following three sections: (1) Neural Networks, (2) Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), and (3) Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN). You will learn about logistic regression and linear regression and know the purpose of neural networks. You will also understand forward and backward propagation as well as the cross-entropy function. Furthermore, you will explore image data, convolutional operation, and residual networks. In the final section of the course, you will understand the use of RNN, Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU), and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM). You will also have code blocks and notebooks to help you understand the topics covered in the course. By the end of this course, you will have a hands-on understanding of Neural Networks in detail.

This course can be taken by a beginner level audience that intends to obtain an in-depth overview of Artificial Intelligence, Deep Learning, and three major types of neural networks: Artificial Neural Networks, Convolutional Neural Networks, and Recurrent Neural Networks. There is no prior coding or programming experience required. This course assumes you have your own laptop, and the code will be done using Colab.
