Program Description: Do you want to learn how ChatGPT and DALL-E really work? Well, if you’d like to a deep dive into how these models work at a very fundamental mathematical level, this is a great opportunity for you! We’ll build your understanding of Neural Network AI from the ground up by using Mathematics to build up Machine Learning models and derive methods to enable them to learn. Then, you’ll learn how to program Neural Networks from scratch to classify images.
This course is about giving you a foundational understanding of Neural Networks. By the end, you’ll be able to understand and explain every little part of a Neural Network and how to fit each part together to build a Neural Network from scratch. Next time you try to read a paper on Machine Learning, the math won’t be able to scare you away. You’ll be well-equipped to understand the modern landscape of Machine Learning research.
