Below you can find my journey towards the Tensorflow Coursera Specialization Certification. April 2019 The people from DeepLearning.ai are starting a new course on Tensorflow. More info can be found here. If this has the same quality as their DeepLearning Specialisation, I might consider taking this one. August 2019 The course has been renamed to:…

This is the final chapter of the Deeplearning.ai saga. In this part we covered the principles of Recurrent Neural Networks and the interesting LSTM (Long Short Term Memory). Unfortunately it took a while before this part was released so I had some recap to do from the first sessions. The rest of the courses focused…

Microsoft has made some changes in the Data Science track, you can find the details in following PDF MPP_Track Updates_DataScience_v1_Final. You can read my comments on the initial one here. I am not sure if I will re-take the exams, but it looks very tempting. It seems that MS is putting more emphasis on the AI…

I just finished the 4th week of this course by Andrew Ng. It was by far the most challenging of the 4 (out of 5, the last one not available yet). But also probably the one where I learned the most. It focuses on computer vision and image recognition. It is amazing how accurate some…

I successfully finished the first course in Prof. Andrew Ng Deep Learning Specialization ! It was a great experience to write a powerful model that can predict whether or not a picture is cat or not. All coding is done in Python Notebooks. The assignments are very well documented and not difficult. I was relieved…

This year the useR conference was held in Brussels. There were more than 1000 people of over 50 nationalities and plenty of speakers and sessions. Great keynotes by Mine Çetinkaya-Rundel and Norm Matloff. I also enjoyed the NLP sessions from Taylor Arnold & Lauren Tilton and a great session from Kylie A. Bemis on the matter package. All, the sessions…

Microsoft launched its Analytics Training portal, the idea is to centralize all training and certifications around analytics: webinars, videos, classroom training, etc… You can search for a certain training, partner or certification. Note that the trainings are not only organised by Microsoft but also by 3rd parties, some of them known trainings centers and others…

The content There is an interesting course on Credit Risk Modeling in R on DataCamp. It covers the classic (machine learning) models to determine the risk in giving people a loan. The subject is simple enough to understand so you do not need to spend a lot of time diving into the subject matter. The course…

In this post we briefly talk about our experience with the Coursera Machine Learning course from Stanford. I took part in the (verified) Coursera course during the period March-May 2016. The course is created and presented by Professor Andrew Ng, the material is clear and to the point. The instructor puts a lot of effort in…

Next to their regular Data Science track, Johns Hopkins also offers a course that focuses on the management part of the data science world: Executive Data Science Specialization. The course is on Coursera and if you wish you can opt for the paid version that offers a verified certificate. In an earlier post we wrote about…
