Start your deep learning journey with this introductory Python-based course, exploring some of the fundamental applications of AI
This course is made available through the eLearnAfrica and FutureLearn partnership.
##
If you want to learn how to use deep learning in a professional context, you need to begin with AI.
AI technology is already everywhere. 10% of businesses use 10 or more AI applications, and it is estimated that 77% of us regularly use an AI-powered service. AI skills are therefore in demand: LinkedIn named artificial intelligence as its fourth most valued hard skill in 2020.
This course is an introduction to artificial intelligence, using Microsoft Cognitive Services, with Python programming language as the medium.
This artificial intelligence course will equip you with foundational knowledge so you can start building your understanding of deep learning using Python. You will cover how AI processes both text and speech language, seeing the world through AI, and how you can work with these inputs to create bots that generate natural conversation in response to inputs.
It will also enable you to work towards gaining Microsoft Azure AI Engineer Associate (AI-100) certification.
The course is offered through a collaboration between CloudSwyft, Microsoft, and FutureLearn. CloudSwyft is a leading provider of cloud-based technology training, focused on future-ready skills.
This machine learning and artificial intelligence course is designed for those who would like to learn more about deep learning. Basic knowledge of Python programming would be advantageous, as would solid maths and computer science skills.
Certificate cost may vary. You will be redirected to the host page for cost and payment options.
