Image analysis and computer vision tasks require a different type of tool: Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). In this module, you'll learn how CNNs automatically extract features from images through specialized layers, build your own models for image classification, and leverage pre-trained networks to solve real-world problems with limited data. Through hands-on implementation in PyTorch, you'll master the techniques that have revolutionized computer vision and enabled breakthroughs in fields from autonomous driving to medical imaging.

Master the art of sequence modeling with Recurrent Neural Networks and LSTMs. This module teaches you how to process and generate sequential data like text and time series. You'll understand the inner workings of RNNs, learn why LSTMs better capture long-term dependencies, and implement practical applications in natural language processing and time series forecasting. Through a combination of theory and hands-on practice, you'll gain the skills to build models that understand context and temporal patterns.

Learn advanced techniques to train deeper, faster, and more accurate neural networks. This module covers the practical skills that separate beginners from professionals in deep learning implementation. You'll tackle regularization methods to prevent overfitting, explore initialization strategies that enable training deeper networks, and implement training optimizations that accelerate convergence and improve stability. By applying these techniques, you'll be able to build models that generalize well to new data while training efficiently.

Frequently asked questions
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Certificate, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
If you subscribed, you get a 7-day free trial during which you can cancel at no penalty. After that, we don’t give refunds, but you can cancel your subscription at any time. See our full refund policy.
