Course Description
Deep learning is a rapidly evolving field, and having a foundational understanding of the different methods and techniques used in deep learning can be valuable for professionals in this space. In these lessons, you will learn about the different deep learning methods used in the field, including Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Multilayer Perceptrons (MLPs). You will also discover the different names used for weights in deep learning, and explore the various loss functions that can be used in a neural network, such as Mean Squared Error (MSE), Sparse Categorical Cross-Entropy, and Binary Cross-Entropy.
Moving forward, you will explore the different types of layers used in Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), such as the Convolutional layer, Pooling layer, and Flatten layer. You will also learn about the different layers in a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), which is another type of neural network commonly used in deep learning.
Next, you will delve into Autoencoders, which are a type of neural network used for unsupervised learning. You will learn about the different layers of an Autoencoder, including the Encoding layer and the Decoding layer. You will also explore the benefits of having a smaller layer in an Autoencoder, and how it can improve the efficiency of the model.
Overall, you will discover one of the popular datasets available in TensorFlow datasets and learn about the applications of Autoencoders in learning features in images. You will also find out whether the Autoencoder layer should be bigger, and understand the reasoning behind it.
