Deep Learning Basics
- PyTorch or TensorFlow (choose one)
- Gradient descent & backpropagation
- Neural networks: layers, activations, initialisation
- Regularisation: dropout, weight decay, early stopping
- Loss functions & optimisers
Deep Learning Training
In-company and fully customised. From fundamentals to modern architectures — delivered with rigorous intuition, clean code and hands-on labs.
Intro
Deep learning powers today’s state-of-the-art systems in language, vision, time series, graphs and decision-making. We teach your team how to reason about architectures, train models responsibly, and ship results you can defend.
Who’s it for?
- Beginners to deep learning with Python/ML background.
- Experienced practitioners levelling up to Transformers, GNNs, RL or Generative models.
- Content and pace tailored to your domain and stack.
Curriculum Topics
Depth and pace are tailored to your team. Start with the essentials; extend into specialisations as needed.
