Course Overview
Over the past few years, Deep Learning has received a lot of attention due to its wide-ranging applications in data analytics, natural language processing, and computer vision. Many professionals who are well versed in deep learning technologies have been employed by leading companies like Google, IBM, Facebook, Microsoft, and Twitter. In this Deep learning – IIT Ropar online training, you will get familiar with the building blocks of deep learning algorithms and solutions.
The Deep Learning – IIT Ropar course syllabus places a particular emphasis on neural network topics like attention mechanisms, convolutional neural networks, feed-forward neural networks, and recurrent neural networks. Various deep learning optimisation algorithms such as Nesterov Accelerated Gradient Descent, Gradient descent, Adam, AdaGrad, and RMSProp are also covered. Learning these algorithms and methods will help effectively train deep neural networks.
After completing all the lectures and assignments of the Deep Learning – IIT Ropar programme, you’ll have a robust grasp of deep learning architectures, which you can employ to carry out various computer vision and Natural Language Processing tasks. You can also test your understanding by applying for the final proctored exam. Passing this test will also grant you a certificate by Swayam, which can be used to display your skills and get lucrative jobs.
