Python: Artificial Intelligence with Python: 3-in-1

Artificial Intelligence is one of the hottest fields in computer science right now and has taken the world by storm as a major field of research and development. Python has surfaced as a dominant language in AI/ML programming because of its simplicity and flexibility, as well as its great support for open source libraries such as Scikit-learn, Keras, spaCy and TensorFlow.

This comprehensive 3-in-1 course is designed to teach you the fundamentals of Deep Learning and use them to build intelligent systems. You’ll solve real-world problems such as face detection, handwriting recognition, and more. You’ll get an exposure to hands-on projects that simplify your first steps in the world of Artificial Intelligence with Python. You’ll get well-versed with AI concepts that have you up and running with AI in no time.

Contents and Overview

This training program includes 2 complete courses, carefully chosen to give you the most comprehensive training possible.

The first course, Artificial Intelligence with Python – Deep Neural Networks, covers different Artificial Intelligence learning techniques with neural networks. The course is an introduction to the basics of deep learning methods. We will start with object detection and tracking, in which we will track faces, objects and eyes. We will then build a neural network and an OCR. We will then learn how to build learning agents that can learn from interacting with the environment. We will then build an image classifier using convolutional neural networks.

The second course, Python Artificial Intelligence Projects for Beginners, covers Hands-on Python recipes that implement practical examples to help you build artificial intelligence applications with eight realistic projects. You’ll start with your first project that covers decision trees for classifying data using Scikit-learn libraries. Next, you will build a classifier using random forests. Then you will learn about text processing techniques and practice with bag-of-words and word2vec models. By the end of this video course, you will be confident to build your own AI projects with Python and be ready to take on more advanced content as you go ahead.

The third course, Advanced Artificial Intelligence Projects with Python, covers intelligent applications projects with Artificial Intelligence using the Python programming language. The first project introduces natural language processing including part-of-speech tagging and named entity extraction. The next project introduces genetic algorithms. The DEAP library is used. A music data set is used in a genetic algorithm that generates a music playlist satisfying multiple criteria such as song similarity and playlist length. The last project introduces reinforcement learning and deep reinforcement learning. The OpenAI Gym platform and Q-learning algorithm are used to build a game-playing AI.

By the end of this training program you’ll get an hands-on experience with Python recipes and build artificial intelligence applications with different Artificial Intelligence techniques and neural networks.
