Description

You’re looking for a complete Artificial Neural Network (ANN) course that teaches you everything you need to create a Neural Network model in Python, right?

You’ve found the right Neural Networks course!

After completing this course you will be able to:

  • Identify the business problem which can be solved using Neural network Models.
  • Have a clear understanding of Advanced Neural network concepts such as Gradient Descent, forward and Backward Propagation etc.
  • Create Neural network models in Python using Keras and Tensorflow libraries and analyze their results.
  • Confidently practice, discuss and understand Deep Learning concepts

How this course will help you?

A Verifiable Certificate of Completion is presented to all students who undertake this Neural networks course.

If you are a business Analyst or an executive, or a student who wants to learn and apply Deep learning in Real world problems of business, this course will give you a solid base for that by teaching you some of the most advanced concepts of Neural networks and their implementation in Python without getting too Mathematical.

Why should you choose this course?

This course covers all the steps that one should take to create a predictive model using Neural Networks.

Most courses only focus on teaching how to run the analysis but we believe that having a strong theoretical understanding of the concepts enables us to create a good model . And after running the analysis, one should be able to judge how good the model is and interpret the results to actually be able to help the business.

This course teaches you all the steps of creating a Neural network based model i.e. a Deep Learning model, to solve business problems.

Below are the course contents of this course on ANN:

  • Part 1 – Python basicsThis part gets you started with Python.This part will help you set up the python and Jupyter environment on your system and it’ll teach you how to perform some basic operations in Python. We will understand the importance of different libraries such as Numpy, Pandas & Seaborn.
  • Part 2 – Theoretical ConceptsThis part will give you a solid understanding of concepts involved in Neural Networks.In this section you will learn about the single cells or Perceptrons and how Perceptrons are stacked to create a network architecture. Once architecture is set, we understand the Gradient descent algorithm to find the minima of a function and learn how this is used to optimize our network model.
  • Part 3 – Creating Regression and Classification ANN model in PythonIn this part you will learn how to create ANN models in Python.We will start this section by creating an ANN model using Sequential API to solve a classification problem. We learn how to define network architecture, configure the model and train the model. Then we evaluate the performance of our trained model and use it to predict on new data. We also solve a regression problem in which we try to predict house prices in a location. We will also cover how to create complex ANN architectures using functional API. Lastly we learn how to save and restore models.We also understand the importance of libraries such as Keras and TensorFlow in this part.
  • Part 4 – Data PreprocessingIn this part you will learn what actions you need to take to prepare Data for the analysis, these steps are very important for creating a meaningful.In this section, we will start with the basic theory of decision tree then we cover data pre-processing topics like  missing value imputation, variable transformation and Test-Train split.
  • Part 5 – Classic ML technique – Linear Regression
    This section starts with simple linear regression and then covers multiple linear regression.We have covered the basic theory behind each concept without getting too mathematical about it so that youunderstand where the concept is coming from and how it is important. But even if you don’t understandit,  it will be okay as long as you learn how to run and interpret the result as taught in the practical lectures.

    We also look at how to quantify models accuracy, what is the meaning of F statistic, how categorical variables in the independent variables dataset are interpreted in the results and how do we finally interpret the result to find out the answer to a business problem.

By the end of this course, your confidence in creating a Neural Network model in Python will soar. You’ll have a thorough understanding of how to use ANN to create predictive models and solve business problems.

Below are some popular FAQs of students who want to start their Deep learning journey-

Why use Python for Deep Learning?

Understanding Python is one of the valuable skills needed for a career in Deep Learning.

Though it hasn’t always been, Python is the programming language of choice for data science. Here’s a brief history:

In 2016, it overtook R on Kaggle, the premier platform for data science competitions.

In 2017, it overtook R on KDNuggets’s annual poll of data scientists’ most used tools.

In 2018, 66% of data scientists reported using Python daily, making it the number one tool for analytics professionals.

Deep Learning experts expect this trend to continue with increasing development in the Python ecosystem. And while your journey to learn Python programming may be just beginning, it’s nice to know that employment opportunities are abundant (and growing) as well.

What is the difference between Data Mining, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning?

Put simply, machine learning and data mining use the same algorithms and techniques as data mining, except the kinds of predictions vary. While data mining discovers previously unknown patterns and knowledge, machine learning reproduces known patterns and knowledge—and further automatically applies that information to data, decision-making, and actions.

Deep learning, on the other hand, uses advanced computing power and special types of neural networks and applies them to large amounts of data to learn, understand, and identify complicated patterns. Automatic language translation and medical diagnoses are examples of deep learning.
