Testimonials (5)
The training provided an interesting overview of deep learning models and related methods. The topic was quite new to me, but now I feel like I actually have an idea of what AI and ML can involve, what these terms consist of and how they can be used advantageously. In general, I liked the approach of starting with the statistical background and the basic learning models, such as linear regression, especially emphasizing the exercises in between.
