AI Capstone Project with Deep Learning (Coursera)

Offered by IBM,
AI Capstone Project with Deep Learning (Coursera)

In this capstone, learners will apply their deep learning knowledge and expertise to a real world challenge. They will use a library of their choice to develop and test a deep learning model. They will load and pre-process data for a real problem, build the model and validate it. Learners will then present a project report to demonstrate the validity of their model and their proficiency in the field of Deep Learning.

Syllabus

WEEK 1
Loading Data
In this module, you will get introduced to the problem that we will try to solve throughout the course. You will also learn how to load the image dataset, manipulate images, and visualize them.

WEEK 2
In this Module, you will mainly learn how to process image data and prepare it to build a classifier using pre-trained models.

WEEK 3
In this Module, in the PyTorch part, you will learn how to build a linear classifier. In the Keras part, you will learn how to build an image classifier using the ResNet50 pre-trained model.

WEEK 4
In this Module, in the PyTorch part, you will complete a peer review assessment where you will be asked to build an image classifier using the ResNet18 pre-trained model. In the Keras part, for the peer review assessment, you will be asked to build an image classifier using the VGG16 pre-trained model and compare its performance with the model that we built in the previous Module using the ResNet50 pre-trained model.

Probabilistic Graphical Models 2: Inference (Coursera)

Probabilistic graphical models (PGMs) are a rich framework for encoding probability distributions over complex domains: joint (multivariate) distributions over large numbers of random variables that interact with each other. These representations sit at the intersection of statistics and computer science, relying on concepts from probability theory, graph algorithms, machine learning, and more.

University of Michigan

Applied Text Mining in Python (Coursera)

This course will introduce the learner to text mining and text manipulation basics. The course begins with an understanding of how text is handled by python, the structure of text both to the machine and to humans, and an overview of the nltk framework for manipulating text. The second week focuses on common manipulation needs, including regular expressions (searching for text), cleaning text, and preparing text for use by machine learning processes. The third week will apply basic natural language processing methods to text, and demonstrate how text classification is accomplished. The final week will explore more advanced methods for detecting the topics in documents and grouping them by similarity (topic modelling).
