Description

Caffe 2 is an open-sourced Deep Learning framework, refactored to provide further flexibility in computation. It is a light-weighted and modular framework, and is being optimized for cloud and mobile applications. It boosts Deep Learning on mobile and low-power devices by building, training, and evaluating the models and enables programming for Android and iOS devices, and Raspberry Pi boards.If you want to develop your own customised neural networks and deep learning models which can also be deployed efficiently, then take up this course.This course teaches you to create, train, and deploy your neural networks and deep learning models using Caffe 2. You will begin with an introduction to Caffe 2 and learn the basic concepts of Caffe 2 such as blobs, workspaces, operators, and nets. You will then build neural networks and develop an understanding of convolutional neural networks, RNNs, Adam, Dropout, BatchNorm, and more. You will also learn how train and manipulate deep neural networks effectively. Finally, you will learn how to deploy your models on mobile devices.Contents and OverviewThis training program includes 2 complete courses, carefully chosen to give you the most comprehensive training possible.The first course, Hands-On Deep Learning with Caffe2, starts off with the basics of Caffe2 such as blobs, workspaces, operators, and nets. You will then learn how to build a model using Caffe 2's new API brew. You will also learn how to create Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) that can identify not only handwriting but also fashion items from an image. Next, you will work on transferring learning to allow you to work with CNN's for image recognition by fine-tuning models that are already pre-trained on a large-scale dataset. Finally, you will learn how to deploy your models on any platform.In the second course, Introduction to Deep Learning with Caffe2, you will learn the foundations of deep learning, understand how to build neural networks and develop an understanding of convolutional networks, RNNs, Adam, Dropout, BatchNorm and more. You will work on various projects throughout this MOOC with a focus on how to train and manipulate a deep neural network effectively.By the end of this course, you will be able to effectively create and train deep learning models with Caffe2, providing you with high-performance and first-class support for large-scale distributed training, mobile deployment, new hardware support, and flexibility.Meet Your Expert(s):We have the best work of the following esteemed author(s) to ensure that your learning journey is smooth:Shuai Zheng, also known as Kyle, did his Ph.D. degree in Machine Learning and Computer Vision at the University of Oxford.
