ABOUT THIS COURSE
Machine learning is one of the fastest growing fields, and we cannot emphasize enough about its importance. This course aims to teach one of the fundamental concepts of machine learning, i.e., Neural Network. You will learn the basic concepts of building a model as well as the mathematical explanation behind Neural Network and based on that; you will build one from scratch (in Python). You will also learn how to train and optimize your network to achieve a better result.
