Machine Learning and Deep Learning - Fundamentals and Applications

By Prof. M. K. Bhuyan | IIT Guwahati

Learners enrolled: 13917 | Exam registration: 2790

ABOUT THE COURSE:

In this course we will start with traditional Machine Learning approaches, e.g. Bayesian Classification, Multilayer Perceptron etc. and then move to modern Deep Learning architectures like Convolutional Neural Networks, Autoencoders etc. We will learn about the building blocks used in these Deep Learning based solutions. Specifically, we will learn about feedforward neural networks, convolutional neural networks, recurrent neural networks and attention mechanisms. On completion of the course students will acquire the knowledge of applying Machine and Deep Learning techniques to solve various real-life problems.

INTENDED AUDIENCE: UG, PG and PhD students and industry professionals who want to work in Machine and Deep Learning.

PREREQUISITES: Knowledge of Linear Algebra, Probability and Random Process, PDE will be helpful.

INDUSTRY SUPPORT: This is a very important course for industry professionals.

Course certificate

The course is free to enroll and learn from. But if you want a certificate, you have to register and write the proctored exam conducted by us in person at any of the designated exam centres.
The exam is optional for a fee of Rs 1000/- (Rupees one thousand only).
Date and Time of Exams: 03 November 2024 Morning session 9am to 12 noon; Afternoon Session 2pm to 5pm.
Registration url: Announcements will be made when the registration form is open for registrations.
The online registration form has to be filled and the certification exam fee needs to be paid. More details will be made available when the exam registration form is published. If there are any changes, it will be mentioned then.
Please check the form for more details on the cities where the exams will be held, the conditions you agree to when you fill the form etc.

CRITERIA TO GET A CERTIFICATE

Average assignment score = 25% of average of best 8 assignments out of the total 12 assignments given in the course.
Exam score = 75% of the proctored certification exam score out of 100

Final score = Average assignment score + Exam score
