Description

Interested in Machine Learning, Deep Learning and Computer Vision? Then this course is for you!

This course is about the fundamental concepts of machine learning, deep learning, reinforcement learning and machine learning. These topics are getting very hot nowadays because these learning algorithms can be used in several fields from software engineering to investment banking.
