Deep Learning Professional Program

Program Description

Deep Learning is one of the most highly sought after skills in Artificial Intelligence. This program will enable you to build a solid foundation in Deep Learning; you will learn how to build neural networks from scratch and how to apply Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) to solve computer vision problems such as image classification and object detection. Moreover, you will learn how to build, and tune predictive models for sequence data, including time series and natural language, using Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN).

To complete this program successfully, the participants need to pass the Innosoft Certified Deep Learning Professional Exam (DL-300).

This program is accredited by the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) of Dubai.

Course Instructor - Ahmed El Koutbia

Founder and CEO of Innosoft Gulf, a leading AI and Big Data Education Center in Dubai. Most of the work that I do at Innosoft Gulf involves teaching, consulting and research in Deep Learning, Machine learning and Big Data. In the last couple of years, I have trained hundreds of professionals in these areas. To develop a local community of AI and Big Data professionals, I started in March 2017, one ofthe largest meet-up groups in Dubai: Innosoft Gulf – Big Data and Artificial Intelligence. At the moment, this active meet-up group has over 3,800 members.

After completing my Bachelor’s degree in Information and Decision Science at the University of Illinois at Chicago in 1996, I had the opportunity to work for some of the most prestigious organizations in the US including Sun Microsystems and Chicago Board of Options Exchange (CBOE). At Sun, I worked closely with the Chief Architect of the Java Center in the architecture, design and development of a Java EE based workflow engine. This work was included in the best selling book Java EE Patterns. Currently, I am pursuing graduate studies in AI at Stanford University, where I worked recently on a self-driving project, which applies Fully Convolutional Neural Networks for Automated Traffic Lane Detection (Click here to download the project report).
