What Is Deep Learning
Stacked layers that invent their own features.
You can jump straight in, but this star assumes What Is Machine Learning. Not recommended as a first stop.
Four layers of depth
Each layer ends with a quiz. Finish layer 4 and you own this concept.
- L1IntuitionHow deep learning differs from classical ML by learning its own features, and why 'deep' just means many layers.5m
40 XP - L2MechanicsThe forward pass as a chain of transformations, why nonlinearity is essential, and the main deep architectures at a glance.8m
70 XP - L3CodeBuilding and training a small deep network in PyTorch, from raw tensors to a working image classifier.12m
110 XP - L4FoundationsWhy depth increases expressive power (universal approximation vs. depth efficiency) and the vanishing/exploding gradient problem quantified.15m
180 XP
