Deep Learning on Azure with Python: AI for Beginners
If you want to learn how to use deep learning in a professional context, you need to begin with AI.
AI technology is already everywhere. 10% of businesses use 10 or more AI applications, and it is estimated that 77% of us regularly use an AI-powered service. AI skills are therefore in demand: LinkedIn named artificial intelligence as its fourth most valued hard skill in 2020.
This course is an introduction to artificial intelligence, using Microsoft Cognitive Services, with Python programming language as the medium.
Discover the potential applications of AI and more
This artificial intelligence course will equip you with foundational knowledge so you can start building your understanding of deep learning using Python. You will cover how AI processes both text and speech language, seeing the world through AI, and how you can work with these inputs to create chat bots that generate natural conversation in response to inputs. It will also enable you to work towards gaining Microsoft Azure AI Engineer Associate (AI-100) certification.
