Having a like-minded
community makes me
feel like I’m part of
something bigger. Before
Coursera, I thought
online learning was
lonely and unengaging.

How the Specialization Works

Take Courses
A Coursera Specialization is a series of courses that
helps you master a skill. To begin, enroll in the
Specialization directly, or review its courses and
choose the one you'd like to start with. When you
subscribe to a course that is part of a Specialization,
you’re automatically subscribed to the full
Specialization. It’s okay to complete just one course
— you can pause your learning or end your
subscription at any time. Visit your learner dashboard
to track your course enrollments and your progress.

Hands-on Project
Every Specialization includes a hands-on project.
You'll need to successfully finish the project(s) to
complete the Specialization and earn your certificate.
If the Specialization includes a separate course for
the hands-on project, you'll need to finish each of the
other courses before you can start it.

Earn a Certificate
When you finish every course and complete the
hands-on project, you'll earn a Certificate that you
can share with prospective employers and your
professional network.

This course, Applied Artificial Intelligence with

DeepLearning, is part of the IBM Advanced Data
Science Certificate which IBM is currently creating
and gives you easy access to the invaluable insights
into Deep Learning models used by experts in
Natural Language Processing, Computer Vision, Time
Series Analysis, and many other disciplines. We’ll
learn about the fundamentals of Linear Algebra and
Neural Networks. Then we introduce the most
popular DeepLearning Frameworks like Keras,
TensorFlow, PyTorch, DeepLearning4J and Apache
SystemML. Keras and TensorFlow are making up the
greatest portion of this course. We learn about
Anomaly Detection, Time Series Forecasting, Image
Recognition and Natural Language Processing by
building up models using Keras on real-life examples
from IoT (Internet of Things), Financial Marked Data,
Literature or Image Databases. Finally, we learn how
to scale those artificial brains using Kubernetes,
Apache Spark and GPUs.

IMPORTANT: THIS COURSE ALONE IS NOT SUFFICIENT

TO OBTAIN THE "IBM Watson IoT Certified Data
Scientist certificate". You need to take three other
courses where two of them are currently built. The
Specialization will be ready late spring, early summer
2018

Using these approaches, no matter what your skill

levels in topics you would like to master, you can
change your thinking and change your life. If you’re
already an expert, this peep under the mental hood
will give your ideas for turbocharging successful
creation and deployment of DeepLearning models. If
you’re struggling, you’ll see a structured treasure
trove of practical techniques that walk you through
what you need to do to get on track. If you’ve ever
wanted to become better at anything, this course will
help serve as your guide.

Prerequisites: Some coding skills are necessary.

Preferably python, but any other programming
language will do fine. Also some basic understanding
of math (linear algebra) is a plus, but we will cover
that part in the first week as well.

If you choose to take this course and earn the

Coursera course certificate, you will also earn an IBM
digital badge. To find out more about IBM digital
badges follow the link ibm.biz/badging.

COURSE 4

Advanced Data Science Capstone

4.6 369 ratings

This project completer has proven a deep

understanding on massive parallel data processing,
data exploration and visualization, advanced machine
learning and deep learning and how to apply his
knowledge in a real-world practical use case where
he justifies architectural decisions, proves
understanding the characteristics of different
algorithms, frameworks and technologies and how
they impact model performance and scalability.

Please note: You are requested to create a short

video presentation at the end of the course. This is
mandatory to pass. You don't need to share the video
in public.
