Nvidia: Introduction To Deep Learning
Fortune is a Python developer with a knack for building intelligent systems. He works with Josplay an African music intelligence organisation as a Machine Learning Engineer.
He is also a technical writer and process engineer with a focus on sustainable energy systems.
The NVIDIA introduction to deep learning course was a fascinating one. It showed the simplicity of machine learning when there is proper understanding as well as its ability to solve complicated problems. I particularly appreciated the fact that there was more focus on the interactive parts through the Jupyter notebooks. With every architecture, there was a succinct explanation and a great project to work on.
The convolutional neural networks' task of classifying fruits into spoilt and fresh as well as into different types showed the great ability of deep learning to accurately distinguish fruits based on the type and based on their characteristics. Also, the recurrent neural networks task of next word prediction was a very interesting application of natural language processing.
I hope to build on the knowledge I have gained and implement interesting projects. Thanks to AISaturdays Lagos and NVIDIA for providing this learning opportunity.
