Hi.

As always, thanks for showing interest in this course!

What makes this course special:

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN): Concepts, Visual Examples and Presentations

Step-by-Step CNN Creation and Training

Create your CNN application using your own Images

Plus, personalized feedback and help.

You ask, I answer directly!


First:

You'll start with the Neural Networks Review:

Quickly learn/refresh all about Neural Networks (NNs): Feed-Forward Passes, Gradient Descent and Backpropagation,

Refresh your memory about how NNs learn from data,

After this, you will be ready and set to tackle Convolutional Neural Networks.


Second:

You'll start your Convolutional Neural Networks endeavor by reviewing their history and motivation:

Why are they so good at prediction?

What makes them so special?

What were the first attempts?


Third:

You'll continue your Convolutional Neural Networks endeavor by going into all required concepts:

How does Convolutional Neural Networks read images?

What's a Convolution layer and how to interpret it?

What are the main components of Convolutional Layers?

Then, learn how all Neural Network concepts stack into Convolutional Layers, i.e. activations, losses,


Forth:

Before jumping into code, you'll see some Convolutional Neural Networks action:

You'll see 2 Convolutional Neural Networks LIVE,

See how they learn right in front of your eyes,

You'll do exactly the same thing in the next sections! So go for it!


Fifth:

You'll code your first Convolutional Neural Networks application:

Code using the famous MNIST dataset,

Easily understand all learnt concepts applied in this section,

Tweak parameters according to your criteria and get a feel about how Convolutional Neural Networks learn from images.


Sixth:

Now it's time for you to code your own Convolutional Neural Networks app with your own images:

We'll use the hydrangea (Kaggle) image dataset competition,

Learn how to "take" images from your PC for your Convolutional Neural Networks app,

Modify the parameters for the best learning process.


Seventh:

Submit your own Convolutional Neural Networks app as the course's Final Assignment:

Get comments on how to make it better

Learn 100% by applying all concepts in this assignment

Optimize for best results


Lastly, you can post questions or doubts, and I’ll answer to you personally.


I’ll see you inside,


-M.A. Mauricio M.
