Course Description
TensorFlow is quickly becoming the technology of choice for deep learning, because of how easy TF makes it to build powerful and sophisticated neural networks. The Google Cloud Platform is a great place to run TF models at scale, and perform distributed training and prediction.
This is a comprehensive, from-the-basics course on TensorFlow and building neural networks. It assumes no prior knowledge of Tensorflow, all you need to know is basic Python programming.
What's covered:
- Deep learning basics: What a neuron is; how neural networks connect neurons to 'learn' complex functions; how TF makes it easy to build neural network models
- Using Deep Learning for the famous ML problems: regression, classification, clustering and autoencoding
- CNNs - Convolutional Neural Networks: Kernel functions, feature maps, CNNs v DNNs
- RNNs - Recurrent Neural Networks: LSTMs, Back-propagation through time and dealing with vanishing/exploding gradients
- Unsupervised learning techniques - Autoencoding, K-means clustering, PCA as autoencoding
- Working with images
- Working with documents and word embeddings
- Google Cloud ML Engine: Distributed training and prediction of TF models on the cloud
- Working with TensorFlow estimators

I'm liking the course material so far, but I"m not getting consistent results following the on-screen instructions for install TensorFlow and Jupyter Notebooks. While TensorFlow runs fine in my virtual environment from the Python shell; TensorFlow will not run in a Jupyter Notebook inside my virtual environment.

The modules and methods have been deprecated by tensor-flow developers hence the code and it's explanation is of now use. The instructors must update the course.
By Renjith George on 9/14/2018
The concepts were explained using simple and intuitive diagrams. This makes it easier to recall. The course is definitely worth revisiting to revise/recall important concepts. Still not very confident with using Tensorflow/Google MLE, that course part felt a bit hurried. Overall a very good intro into the ML and Deep Neural world.
By Sandeep Mehandru on 6/20/2018
Very good course. Explains both ML and Deep learning concepts in a very concise manner with good visual diagrams and code exercises. Thanks to the team. Looking forward for more such courses on complex topics.
By Saravanakumar Velayutham on 6/1/2018
very good course giving details on basic operation on tensor flow with examples at good pace . easily understandable to have a strong foundation skills
By Manjunath on 5/10/2018
I am using PyCharm - had some difficulties integrating tensorflow and getting the hello world running. Involved updating environmental variables. A comment on harmless warning message in your output would help.
By PREETI JOSHI on 5/8/2018
Pretty awesome course. The flow is so well thought and structured....i loved the comparison of output from scikit model to result from tensorflow. No less no more..perfect explanations with presentation and codes. The narration speed is perfect as well. Perfect so far !!!
By Ted Taliaferro on 1/27/2018
Better closed captioning so that I can understand what the narrator is saying. Also there needs to be more hands-on example from the onset. It's taking too long to get to using the tools

Loony Corn is unbelievably skilled. As a consequence their courses are good. But some of their courses stand out. Just like this one.
By Khoi Phan on 1/19/2018
Great course but could be a bit challenging for true beginners. I personally recommend taking this after having some previous knowledge of ML and Neural Networks
