More about this course
  • In this course, we will build on our knowledge of basic models and explore advanced AI techniques. We will start with a deep dive into neural networks, building our knowledge from the ground up by examining the structure and properties. Then we will code some simple neural network models and learn to avoid overfitting, regularization, and other hyper-parameter tricks. After a project predicting likelihood of heart disease given health characteristics, we will move to random forests. We will describe the differences between the two techniques and explore their differing origins in detail. Finally, we will complete a project predicting similarity between health patients using random forests.
