It’s that time again!

BIG DISCOUNTS for everyone! If you’re in the USA you should see $10 coupons. If you’re in another country you’ll see the corresponding amount in your own currency.

But before we get to that, I want to mention that the VIP bonus for my latest Deep Learning course on GANs and Variational Autoencoders is CLOSING TODAY.

So if you want to get the VIP bonus and you haven’t gotten it yet, NOW is the time!

Just a reminder of what you get:

1) PDF cheatsheet / tutorial on Variational Autoencoders for your reading convenience

2) PDF cheatsheet / tutorial on GANs for your reading convenience (with exercises)

3) Pre-trained style transfer network! No need to train for 4 months on your slow CPU, or pay hundreds of dollars to use a GPU, or download 100s of MBs of Tensorflow checkpoint data! I’ve condensed the neural network weights to a few MBs so you can get going right away.

If you don’t know what “style transfer” is – that’s where I train a neural network to learn the “style” of Picasso or Da Vinci, and then apply it to a completely unrelated image like the Chicago skyline.

Very cool application of neural networks!

Remember: these VIP bonuses are ONLY available if you use the VIP coupon, which is automatically applied when you click this link:

August 1, 2017

You asked for it, and it’s here!

I am pleased to announce my latest course:

Deep Learning: Variational Autoencoders and GANs

If you don’t want to read all my crazy writing and you just want to grab your coupon, click here: https://www.udemy.com/deep-learning-gans-and-variational-autoencoders/?couponCode=IAMAVIP

GANs have been called one of the most interesting developments in deep learning in 2016.

This is coming from Yann LeCun – one of the grandmasters of deep learning.

Most of you already know why GANs are cool – that’s why you’ve been asking me for this course.

But just in case you don’t:

GANs are notable for being able to produce extremely high-quality, high-resolution, sharp samples.

We’ve had neural networks (and non-deep learning ML algorithms) that can generate samples for decades… but none come close to the quality of images generated by GANs.

This is some Jason Bourne-level stuff… you know how they “enhance” a tiny / blurry image from some government spy camera?

Guess what can actually do that? GANs.

Fun fact: a group of Harvard PhDs JUST did an AMA on Reddit this week. Check out what one had to say about Unsupervised Deep Learning:

There are a ton of more cool applications that we’ll discuss in the course like reinforcement learning. This stuff is basically the latest-and-greatest in deep learning.

Why variational autoencoders and not just GANs? Both of these neural networks fall into the category of “deep neural network samplers” – they both attempt to learn the structure of data in some way, which you can then use to generate new data that mimics what was learned.

I think variational autoencoders are super cool because they combine 2 of my favorite subjects: deep learning and Bayesian machine learning.

They were also invented at approximately the same time and are always mentioned in the context of one another, so in some sense they belong in the same “family” of algorithms.

Another cool thing about this course: a surprising lack of prerequisites! Technically, this will be Deep Learning part 8 and Unsupervised Deep Learning part 2. But, you won’t need to know anything from Deep Learning part 5, 6, or 7, nor Unsupervised Deep Learning part 1 (which is also Deep Learning part 4). You will need to know how to build convolutional neural networks and have a working understanding of Bayes classifiers, but that’s pretty much it! Not that learning how to build convolutional neural networks was an easy place to get to, but now that you’re there, you can breathe easy.

Now, this course is going to be available to all students on Udemy, but if you’re receiving this email, that means you’ve already taken a course of mine, which is why I am offering you something exclusive: The VIP version of this course.

It will ONLY be available to students who use this link, which applies a special coupon that I can check that you used:

https://www.udemy.com/deep-learning-gans-and-variational-autoencoders/?couponCode=IAMAVIP

What’s in it?

VIP EXTRAS

Here’s what you get if you sign up for the VIP version of the course:

Because I am such a geek, I decided to use LaTeX to create short, concise tutorials for both the GAN and variational autoencoder.

These will be great to help you review the material and ingest it in a different format, no doubt increasing your understanding of what you learn in the course.

You can take it with you on the train and read it at your leisure!

Students are constantly asking me for PDFs just like this. Ask and you shall receive!

But that’s not all…

One of the COOLEST applications of neural networks that just “learn the structure of data” (as opposed to trying to assign labels to it) is STYLE TRANSFER.

Ever wanted to know what the New York City skyline would look like if it were painted by Picasso?

Now you can find out!

Style transfer networks are neural networks that learn the “essence” or “style” of one image, and then have the ability to apply that same style to new images.

I find this to be one of the most FASCINATING applications of using deep learning to learn the structure of data.

Of course… for most of us, such a neural network would take around 4 months to train…

So here’s what you get for signing up for the VIP special:

A SUPER SIMPLE script you can just run, which automatically downloads pre-trained neural network weights for 3 different styles (Dora Maar, Rain Princess, and Starry Night), which you can then use to apply those styles to ANY input image within SECONDS.

The neural network accepts any size input image because all the weights are convolutional filters!

How cool is that?

And it’s in Tensorflow, so all you Windows users out there don’t feel left out. =)

And remember: these VIP specials are only available IF you use the VIP COUPON (IAMAVIP) – so make sure you use the coupons / links in this email, otherwise, you will not get the VIP bonuses!

https://www.udemy.com/deep-learning-gans-and-variational-autoencoders/?couponCode=IAMAVIP

Quick note: If you don’t receive the VIP extras right away, don’t worry. I will be going through the list myself, you WILL get them.

Tensorflow Object Detection API

Summary: Creating accurate machine learning models capable of localizing and identifying multiple objects in a single image remains a core challenge in computer vision. The TensorFlow Object Detection API is an open source framework built on top of TensorFlow that makes it easy to construct, train and deploy object detection models. At Google we’ve certainly found this codebase to be useful for our computer vision needs, and we hope that you will as well.

Free Online Data Science Books

The title says they are “mathematics” textbooks but there’s tons of material for data scientists (who do lots of math) too.

Particularly relevant: probability, statistics, linear algebra, graph theory, inference, learning algorithms, convex optimization, statistical signal processing, and more!

Here’s When Machines Will Take Your Job, as Predicted by AI Gurus

Many top minds think that automation will cost humans their employment, with up to 47% of all jobs gone in the next 25 years. And chances are, this number could be even higher and the massive job loss will come earlier.

So when will your job become obsolete? Researchers at the University of Oxford surveyed the world’s best artificial intelligence experts to find out when exactly machines will be better at humans in various occupations.

Self-Normalizing Neural Networks

Success stories of Deep Learning with standard feed-forward neural networks (FNNs) are rare. FNNs that perform well are typically shallow and, therefore cannot exploit many levels of abstract representations. We introduce self-normalizing neural networks (SNNs) to enable high-level abstract representations. While batch normalization requires explicit normalization, neuron activations of SNNs automatically converge towards zero mean and unit variance.

Facebook Trains ImageNet in 1 Hour

Facebook published a paper today detailing how they are able to train nearly 1.3 million images in under an hour using 256 Tesla P100 GPUs that previously took days on a single system.

The team reduced the training time of a ResNet-50 deep learning model on ImageNet from 29 hours to one.
