Machine Learning Mini-Degree

With its ability to provide valuable insights and solve real-world problems – such as cancer detection, self-driving cars, and virtual personal assistants (just to name a few) – machine learning is revolutionizing nearly every industry. Large and small companies alike are increasingly seeking machine learning experts in this area, and with a shortage of trained professionals, it’s an area filled with opportunities.

The Machine Learning Mini-Degree will give you the fundamental skills needed to build the next generation of intelligent applications and software. Using Python, NumPy, TensorFlow, and Keras, you’ll learn by building real projects – including an image identification app, image generator, text generator, and spam detector AI.

The skills you learn will enable you to develop innovative and practical solutions across a wide range of industries.

 

You will learn:

Functional arrays and matrices with NumPy
Building, training, and testing machine learning programs
Pattern and image recognition
Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) for image generation
Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) for language modeling
Deep reinforcement learning
Naive Bayes for text classification
