| "Neural Networks are used all around us: they index photos into categories, translate text, suggest replies for emails, and beat the best games. Many people are eager to apply this knowledge to their own data, but many fail to achieve the results they expect.In this course, well start by building a simple flower recognition program, making you feel comfortable with Tensorflow, and it will teach you several important concepts in Neural Networks. Next, youll start working with high-dimensional uses to predict one output: 1275 molecular features you can use to predict the atomization energy of an atom. The next program well create is a handwritten number recognition system trained on the famous MNIST dataset. Well work our way up from a simple multilayer perceptron to a state of the art Deep Convolutional Neural Network.In the final program, estimate what a celebrity looks like, checking for new pictures to see whether a celebrity is attractive, wears a hat, has lipstick on, and many more properties that are difficult to estimate with ""traditional"" computer vision techniques.After the course, youll not only be able to build a Neural Network for your own dataset, youll also be able to reason which techniques will improve your Neural Network.About the AuthorRoland Meertens develops smart computer-vision algorithms for self-driving vehicles at AID.
