Deep Learning Fundamentals

Deep learning is the most important breakthrough in the history of Artificial Intelligence (AI). We easily can divide the history of AI into before and after deep learning eras. Apart from its technical value, Deep Learning (DL) has facilitated many new applications for AI and machine learning. Thanks to deep learning, we can implement high-performance and robust intelligent systems in daily life, the health sector, prediction, surveillance, decision making, and business analytics. DL also allows us to handle semi-structured and unstructured data efficiently. Therefore, it can effectively be used in customers opinion mining, chatbot design, and social media analytics. In this course we are going to introduce deep learning and its applications, then focus on the design and development of deep convolutional neural network models mostly for natural language processing, sentiment analysis, and opinion mining based on a few hands-on that will be carried out by learners.
