Overview
Neural Networks (sometimes called AI) is the most attractive area of Machine Learning since 2012. Due to significant progress, machines can solve visual problems, perform accurate translations, and play Chess better than humans. Although the area has grown tremendously in recent years, still many of the areas require significant work. Meanwhile, the companies’ need for specialists in this area grows with years.
This area is not only interesting and filled with science, programming and mathematical riddles but also is one of the best-paid areas of contemporary Computer Science. Moreover, it has numerous applications in other areas such as engineering, commerce, astrophysics, biology and many others.
Learning highlights
- In this course, there are two main objectives. The first objective is to learn how to build and train neural networks from a practical point of view. The second objective is to deeply understand the processes that take place in an artificial neural network. In addition, it’s crucial for debugging neural networks and training scripts, designing novel neural networks, and reusing the already pre-trained networks for other tasks (so-called transfer learning).

FAQ
Will I receive a certificate after completion?
Yes. Upon completion of the course, you will receive a certificate signed by the director of the program your course belonged to.
Do I need a visa?
This depends on your case. Please check with the Spanish or Thai consulate in your country of residence about visa requirements. We will do our part to provide you with the necessary documents, such as the Certificate of Enrollment.
Can I get a discount?
Yes. The easiest way to enroll in a course at a discounted price is to register for multiple courses. Registering for multiple courses will reduce the cost per individual course. Please ask the Admissions Office for more information about the other kinds of discounts we offer and what you can do to receive one.
