It's okay if these terms seem overwhelming; you'll learn how to put them to work.You'll build upon the classification coverage by taking a quick look at ethical web scraping and interactive visualizations to help you professionally gather and present your analysis. Then, you'll start building out your keystone deep learning application, one that aims to predict the future price of Bitcoin based on historical public data.By guiding you through a trained neural network, this Learning Path explores common deep learning network architectures (convolutional, recurrent, generative adversarial) and branches out into deep reinforcement learning before you dive into model optimization and evaluation. You'll do all of this whilst working on a production-ready web application that combines Tensorflow and Keras to produce a meaningful user-friendly result, leaving you with all the skills you need to tackle and develop your own real-world deep learning projects confidently and effectively.About the AuthorChris Dalla Villa has been professionally practicing data analytics since graduating with a master's degree in Physics from the University of Guelph, Canada.
