🚀 Course Title: Fundamentals in Neural Networks
🧠 Headline: Build up your intuition of the fundamental building blocks of Neural Networks! 🤯

Introduction to Deep Learning: Deep learning has revolutionized the field of machine learning by leveraging artificial neural networks. These networks can learn from vast amounts of data through a process called representation learning. They are versatile and can tackle supervised, semi-supervised, or unsupervised tasks, leading to breakthroughs across various domains, including computer vision, speech recognition, natural language processing, and more.

Course Overview: This course is meticulously designed to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of three key types of neural networks:

1. Neural Networks: Dive into the core concepts that form the backbone of all neural network models. You'll cover fundamental topics like linear regression, logistic regression, activation functions, and loss functions, culminating in an understanding of how to apply gradient descent for model optimization.

2. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs): Explore the specialized architecture of CNNs, ideal for processing image data. You'll learn about convolutional operations, padding, stride, and explore famous architectures like VGG16 and ResNet. Understand how these components come together in models that can recognize patterns and features in images.

3. Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs): Discover the power of RNNs for sequence processing tasks, particularly in language modeling and prediction. You'll learn about forward and backward propagation in RNNs, the intricacies of gated recurrent units (GRUs), long short-term memory (LSTM) networks, and bidirectional RNNs (bi-RNNs).
