AI Capstone Project with Deep Learning (Coursera)

Offered by IBM,
AI Capstone Project with Deep Learning (Coursera)

In this capstone, learners will apply their deep learning knowledge and expertise to a real world challenge. They will use a library of their choice to develop and test a deep learning model. They will load and pre-process data for a real problem, build the model and validate it. Learners will then present a project report to demonstrate the validity of their model and their proficiency in the field of Deep Learning.

Syllabus

WEEK 1
Loading Data
In this module, you will get introduced to the problem that we will try to solve throughout the course. You will also learn how to load the image dataset, manipulate images, and visualize them.

WEEK 2
In this Module, you will mainly learn how to process image data and prepare it to build a classifier using pre-trained models.

WEEK 3
In this Module, in the PyTorch part, you will learn how to build a linear classifier. In the Keras part, you will learn how to build an image classifier using the ResNet50 pre-trained model.

WEEK 4
In this Module, in the PyTorch part, you will complete a peer review assessment where you will be asked to build an image classifier using the ResNet18 pre-trained model. In the Keras part, for the peer review assessment, you will be asked to build an image classifier using the VGG16 pre-trained model and compare its performance with the model that we built in the previous Module using the ResNet50 pre-trained model.

e-Learning Ecologies: Innovative Approaches to Teaching and Learning for the Digital Age (Coursera)

For three decades and longer we have heard educators and technologists making a case for the transformative power of technology in learning. However, despite the rhetoric, in many ways and at most institutional sites, education is still relatively untouched by technology. Even when technologies are introduced, the changes sometimes seem insignificant and the results seem disappointing. If the print textbook is replaced by an e-book, do the social relations of knowledge and learning necessarily change at all or for the better?

Introduction to Philosophy (Coursera)

This course will introduce you to some of the main areas of research in contemporary philosophy. Each module a different philosopher will talk you through some of the most important questions and issues in their area of expertise. We’ll begin by trying to understand what philosophy is – what are its characteristic aims and methods, and how does it differ from other subjects? Then we’ll spend the rest of the course gaining an introductory overview of several different areas of philosophy.

University of Alberta,Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute

Sample-based Learning Methods (Coursera)

In this course, you will learn about several algorithms that can learn near optimal policies based on trial and error interaction with the environment---learning from the agent’s own experience. Learning from actual experience is striking because it requires no prior knowledge of the environment’s dynamics, yet can still attain optimal behavior. We will cover intuitively simple but powerful Monte Carlo methods, and temporal difference learning methods including Q-learning. We will wrap up this course investigating how we can get the best of both worlds: algorithms that can combine model-based planning (similar to dynamic programming) and temporal difference updates to radically accelerate learning.
