Overview
This course introduces the pivotal components of deep learning. You learn how to build deep feedforward, convolutional, and recurrent networks. Neural networks are used to solve problems that include traditional classification, image classification, and sequence-dependent outcomes. The course contains a healthy mix of theory and application. Hands-on demonstration and practice problems are included to reinforce key concepts. Hyperparameter search methods are described and demonstrated to find an optimal set of deep learning models. Lastly, transfer learning is covered because the emergence of this field has shown promise in deep learning.
Skills Gained
- Define and understand deep learning.
- Build traditional, convolutional, and recurrent neural networks using deep learning techniques.
- Apply models to score new data.
- Search the hyperparameter space of a deep learning model.
- Leverage transfer learning using supervised and unsupervised methods.
Who Can Benefit
- Machine learners and those interested in deep learning, computer vision, or natural language processing
Prerequisites
- Before attending this course, you should have at least an introductory-level familiarity with basic neural network modeling and basic machine learning. You can gain this experience by completing the Machine Learning Using SAS® Viya® course or the Neural Networks: Essentials course. Previous SAS software experience is helpful but not required.

Does Ascendient Learning deliver group training?
Yes, we provide training for groups, individuals and private on sites. View our group training page for more information.
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
ExitCertified provided us with a great opportunity to learn more about React and in easy to follow way.
I like their training. A lot of material covered. The labs are very good. l learned a lot.
This was effective way to provide a ton of information in a short time period.
I registered a day before class and am happy that I received all the materials and links in time for the class. Thanks.
my experince was great from the day i regetered to the actuall day of the class.
