Overview
Whether your organization needs to monitor cybersecurity threats, fraudulent financial transactions, product defects, or equipment health, artificial intelligence can help catch data abnormalities before they impact your business. AI models can be trained and deployed to automatically analyze datasets, define “normal behavior,” and identify breaches in patterns quickly and effectively. These models can then be used to predict future anomalies. With massive amounts of data available across industries and subtle distinctions between normal and abnormal patterns, it’s critical that organizations use AI to quickly detect anomalies that pose a threat.
In this workshop, you’ll learn how to implement multiple AI-based approaches to solve a specific use case of identifying network intrusions for telecommunications. You’ll learn three different anomaly detection techniques using GPU-accelerated XGBoost, deep learning-based autoencoders, and generative adversarial networks (GANs) and then implement and compare supervised and unsupervised learning techniques. At the end of the workshop, you’ll be able to use AI to detect anomalies in your work across telecommunications, cybersecurity, finance, manufacturing, and other key industries.
Skills Gained
By participating in this workshop, you’ll:
- Prepare data and build, train, and evaluate models using XGBoost, autoencoders, and GANs
- Detect anomalies in datasets with both labeled and unlabeled data
- Classify anomalies into multiple categories regardless of whether the original data was labeled
Prerequisites
- Professional data science experience using Python
- Experience training deep neural networks
Course Details
Workshop Outline
Introduction
Anomaly Detection in Network Data Using GPU-Accelerated XGBoost
- Learn how to detect anomalies using supervised learning.
- Prepare data for GPU acceleration using the provided dataset.
- Train a binary and multi-class classifier using the popular machine learning algorithm XGBoost.
- Assess and improve your model’s performance before deployment.
Anomaly Detection in Network Data Using GPU-Accelerated Autoencoder
- Learn how to detect anomalies using modern unsupervised learning.
- Build and train a deep learning-based autoencoder to work with unlabeled data.
- Apply techniques to separate anomalies into multiple classes.
- Explore other applications of GPU-accelerated autoencoders.
Project: Anomaly Detection in Network Data Using GANs
- Learn how to detect anomalies using GANs.
- Train an unsupervised learning model to create new data.
- Use that new data to turn the problem into a supervised learning problem.
- Compare the performance of this new approach to more established approaches.

What does vendor-authorized training mean?
As a vendor-authorized training partner, we offer a curriculum that our partners have vetted. We use the same course materials and facilitate the same labs as our vendor-delivered training. These courses are considered the gold standard and, as such, are priced accordingly.
Is the training too basic, or will you go deep into technology?
It depends on your requirements, your role in your company, and your depth of knowledge. The good news about many of our learning paths, you can start from the fundamentals to highly specialized training.
How up-to-date are your courses and support materials?
We continuously work with our vendors to evaluate and refresh course material to reflect the latest training courses and best practices.
Are your instructors seasoned trainers who have deep knowledge of the training topic?
Ascendient Learning instructors have an average of 27 years of practical IT experience and have also served as consultants for an average of 15 years. To stay current, instructors spend at least 25 percent of their time learning new, emerging technologies and courses.
Do you provide hands-on training and exercises in an actual lab environment?
Lab access is dependent on the vendor and the type of training you sign up for. However, many of our top vendors will provide lab access to students to test and practice. The course description will specify lab access.
Will you customize the training for our company’s specific needs and goals?
We will work with you to identify training needs and areas of growth. We offer a variety of training methods, such as private group training, on-site of your choice, and virtually. We provide courses and certifications that are aligned with your business goals.
How do I get started with certification?
Getting started on a certification pathway depends on your goals and the vendor you choose to get certified in. Many vendors offer entry-level IT certification to advanced IT certification that can boost your career. To get access to certification vouchers and discounts, please contact info@ascendientlearning.com.
Will I get access to content after I complete a course?
You will get access to the PDF of course books and guides, but access to the recording and slides will depend on the vendor and type of training you receive.

Reviews
I was very satisfied about how the course was organized. Sean Did a very good work
The training was very good to understand the concepts and how to set up things .
ExitCertified provided us with a great opportunity to learn more about React and in easy to follow way.
Some Labs are very good but some steps it ask to update but its already updated, but overall its very good training.
The class was very vast paced however the teacher was very good at checking in on us while giving us time to complete the labs.
