Building Deep Learning Models with TensorFlow (Coursera)

The majority of data in the world is unlabeled and unstructured. Shallow neural networks cannot easily capture relevant structure in, for instance, images, sound, and textual data. Deep networks are capable of discovering hidden structures within this type of data. In this course you’ll use TensorFlow library to apply deep learning to different data types in order to solve real world problems.

À partir de l'histoire du machine learning, nous examinons les raisons pour lesquelles les réseaux de neurones fonctionnent si bien de nos jours dans différents problèmes liés à la science des données. Nous évoquons ensuite la façon d'aborder un problème d'apprentissage supervisé et le moyen d'y répondre en utilisant la descente de gradient. Cela implique de créer des ensembles de données menant à une généralisation ; nous évoquons les méthodes pour y parvenir de façon reproductible en utilisant l'expérimentation.

Welcome to this 2 hour long guided project on creating and training an Object Localization model with TensorFlow. In this guided project, we are going to use TensorFlow's Keras API to create a convolutional neural network which will be trained to classify as well as localize emojis in images. Localization, in this context, means the position of the emojis in the images. This means that the network will have one input and two outputs.
