Master advanced deep learning techniques using Keras and TensorFlow 2.x for computer vision, NLP, and reinforcement learning.
Master advanced deep learning techniques using Keras and TensorFlow 2.x for computer vision, NLP, and reinforcement learning.
This comprehensive course equips professionals with advanced Keras and TensorFlow 2.x techniques for building and optimizing sophisticated machine learning models. Students begin by mastering Keras's functional API for designing complex architectures and creating custom layers and models tailored to unique challenges. The curriculum progresses through specialized deep learning domains, starting with advanced convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for computer vision, including data augmentation techniques, transfer learning with pre-trained models, and transpose convolution. Participants then explore Transformer architecture for sequential data processing, focusing on time series prediction and text generation applications. The course also covers unsupervised learning, teaching students to implement autoencoders, cutting-edge diffusion models, and generative adversarial networks (GANs). Advanced optimization techniques are addressed through custom training loops and hyperparameter tuning using Keras Tuner. The final modules introduce reinforcement learning concepts, including Q-Learning algorithms and deep Q-networks (DQNs). Throughout the course, students apply their knowledge in practical lab exercises, culminating in a peer-graded final project on transfer learning for waste product classification. With machine learning engineer salaries currently ranging from $100,809 to over $254,000, this course provides the practical skills needed to tackle complex real-world challenges across various deep learning domains.
