In-Person Training
Deep learning with TensorFlow

Robert Schroll (The Data Incubator)
9:00am-5:00pm
Tuesday, September 4 through Wednesday, September 5
Location: Continental 2

Average rating: ****.
(4.00, 2 ratings)

Participants should plan to attend training courses on both Tuesday and Wednesday. To attend training courses, you must register for a Platinum or Training pass; does not include access to tutorials on Wednesday.

The TensorFlow library provides for the use of dataflow graphs for numerical computations, with automatic parallelization across several CPUs or GPUs. This architecture makes it ideal for implementing neural networks and other machine learning algorithms. Robert Schroll offers an overview of the TensorFlow graph using its Python API.

What you'll learn, and how you can apply it

  • Understand TensorFlow’s strengths for machine learning and how TensorFlow can help with AI problems like object recognition and text processing
  • Learn how to build a basic computation within TensorFlow, using Python

Prerequisites:

  • Familiarity with Python, matrices, modeling, and statistics
  • No experience with TensorFlow required

Hardware and/or installation requirements:

  • A laptop (You'll be provisioned with a cloud instance with TensorFlow.)

Many of the deep learning algorithms used in AI applications are powered by large matrix operations. TensorFlow provides dataflow graphs for such operations, allowing algorithms to be easily parallelized across multiple processors or machines. This makes TensorFlow an ideal environment for implementing neural networks and other deep learning algorithms.

Robert Schroll offers an overview of the TensorFlow graph using its Python API. You’ll start with simple machine learning algorithms and move on to implementing neural networks, including convolutional neural networks to provide object recognition for machine vision, recurrent neural networks, including long short-term memory architectures, that allow the comprehension of time series and language, and generative networks, which give AI applications the ability to create output. Along the way, Robert covers several real-world deep learning applications, including machine vision, text processing, and generative networks.

I am contemplating changing my registration to attend this training session instead of BigDL training. What is the format and content of Day 2? Will Day 2 be hand-on and include actual use cases, and corresponding datasets, for each algorithm listed above? Please clarify. thanks!
