Deep Learning is a subset of Machine Learning which is completely based on artificial neural networks. As neural networks are designed to mimic the human brain, deep learning is likewise a human brain mimic. These neural networks are made up of a simple mathematical function that can be stacked on top of each other and arranged in the form of layers, giving them a sense of depth, hence the term Deep Learning.

Course content
Deep learning has a plethora of applications in almost every field such as health care, finance, and image recognition. It can be used to solve any pattern recognition problem and without human intervention. There are several popular and widely used deep learning frameworks which help to build neural network models. Some of the common ones are Tensorflow, Keras, Pytorch, and DL4J. In this course, in addition to getting a solid understanding of deep learning, you will get hands-on experience by solving practical, real-life tasks using state-of-the-art techniques and software frameworks from machine learning, and deep learning.
Concepts covered in this course provides relevant theoretical and hands-on programming knowledge.
