Average rating: ****.
(4.00, 1 rating)

Participants should plan to attend both days of this 2-day training course. Platinum and Training passes do not include access to tutorials on Monday.

Recurrent neural networks have proven to be very effective at analyzing time series or sequential data, so how can you apply these benefits to your use case? Tom Hanlon demonstrates how to use Deeplearning4j to build recurrent neural networks for time series data.

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

  • Learn how to configure your dataset properly for use by the neural network, set appropriate hyperparameters for the neural network, configure your output layer for prediction and classification, and choose appropriate hardware.

Prerequisites:

  • A working knowledge of at least one programming language

Hardware and/or installation requirements:

  • A laptop with an up-to-date browser installed

Outline

Day 1

  • Introduction to neural networks and an overview of the different types of neural networks (feed forward, convolutional, and recurrent)
  • Choosing the appropriate neural network for time series data
  • Hands-on lab: Generating weather forecasts with a recurrent neural network


Day 2

  • Configuring a data ingestion pipeline sequence data
  • Recurrent neural nets for the prediction of medical outcomes
  • Recurrent neural nets for the classification of sequence data
  • Hands-on lab: Sequence classification with recurrent neural networks

Thanks Tom! That’s perfect. See you tomorrow morning.

Dwayne,

I will have a Virtual Machine “OVA file” available on a usb drive, I think it is about 10G compressed.

Come with space on your laptop or a usb drive and you can have the Virtual machine.

I will also share the labs as a github repo.

Will we be able to access the remote lab environment after the training is over? If not, I would still like to have the virtual machine so I can be able to reference it later.

The Labs have been moved from a Virtual Machine to a remote Lab environment,

So Don Clavio, and others you will require a laptop with a modern browser. The 10G disk space and 10G of ram (or more) requirement reflects the old Virtual Machine requirement.

A modern machine with a modern browser will suffice.

Thanks

I have the Platinum package and would love to attend. But, I won’t be able to as I will be in another one same time both days. Can get the training material/ resources for this?

The TimeSeries Analysis Deep Learning class requires a laptop with 10 gb of space. Is that 10gb of RAM. Please confirm.
