Want to learn neural networks? Here’s a free Brain.js course! Merry Christmas!
The last few years, machine learning has gone from a promising technology to something we’re surrounded with on a daily basis. And at the heart of many machine learning systems lies neural networks.
Neural networks are what’s powering self-driving cars, the world’s best chess players, and many of the recommendations you’re get from apps like YouTube, Netflix, and Spotify.
So today I’m super-stoked to finally present a Scrimba course that helps any web developer easily get started with neural networks.
In the course, Robert Plummer teaches you how to use his popular Brain.js library through solving a bunch of exciting problems, such as:
- recognizing images
- analyzing the sentiment of sentences
- and even writing very simple children’s book!
And thanks to the Scrimba platform, you’ll be able to directly interact with the example code and modify it along the way.
This may be the most interactive course on neural networks ever created.
So let’s have a look at what you’ll learn throughout these 19 free screencasts.
1. Introduction
Robert starts with giving you an overview over the concepts you’ll learn, projects you’ll build and the overall pedagogical philosophy behind the course. It’s a practical course which focuses on empowering people to build rather than getting stuck in the theoretical aspects behind neural nets.
