    Intro to AI with Machine Learning, Deep Learning and More

    A five-day, lecture and hands-on lab course for people who have completed the Intro to Python course, people who have completed the Intro to Python for Non-Programmers: Parts 1 & 2 course sequence, or people with equivalent Python programming experience.

    Course Overview

    Intended for Python programmers and based on the innovative textbook Intro to Python for Computer Science and Data Science: Learning to Program with AI, Big Data and the Cloud (https://deitel.com/IntroToPythonContentsDiagram) by Paul Deitel and Harvey Deitel, this course provides a code-intensive introduction to some of today’s most compelling, leading-edge data science, AI and big data computing technologies, with cool examples on natural language processing, data visualization, data mining Twitter® for sentiment analysis, cognitive computing with IBM® Watson™, supervised machine learning with classification and regression, unsupervised machine learning with clustering, computer vision through deep learning with a convolutional neural network, sentiment analysis through deep learning with a recurrent neural network, and big data with Spark™ streaming, NoSQL databases and the Internet of Things (IoT).

    Attendees leverage key, open-source, Python data-science libraries, Python AI libraries and infrastructure platforms to maximize productivity, quickly creating powerful applications with minimal code. The course offers extensive hands-on lab coding practice. Deitel LabAssist notes provide hints for each hands-on lab, enabling you to work through many labs efficiently.
