The NVIDIA: Fundamentals of Deep Learning Course is the second course in the Exam Prep (NCA-GENL): NVIDIA-Certified Generative AI LLMs Associate specialization. It introduces learners to core deep learning concepts and techniques, building on foundational machine learning principles.
The course covers neuron data processing, gradient descent, Perceptron training, forward and backward propagation, activation functions, and advanced techniques like multi-class classification and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). Learners will also explore transfer learning through a hands-on demo. This course is structured into two modules, with each module containing Lessons and Video Lectures. Learners will engage with approximately 3:30-4:00 hours of video content, covering both theoretical concepts and hands-on practice. Each module includes quizzes to assess learners' understanding and reinforce key concepts. Course Modules: Module 1: Foundations of Deep Learning Module 2: Advanced Deep Learning Techniques By the end of this course, a learner will be able to: - Understand deep learning fundamentals, including neuron data processing and model training. - Implement multi-class classification and CNNs for image recognition tasks. - Apply transfer learning with pre-trained models to improve deep learning performance. This course is designed for individuals looking to enhance their skills in deep learning, particularly those aiming to work with generative AI models and LLMs. It is ideal for AI practitioners, data scientists, and machine learning engineers seeking a structured approach to mastering deep learning concepts.
Welcome to Week 1 of the NVIDIA: Fundamentals of Deep Learning course. This week, we will cover the basics of Deep Learning. We will explore how data is processed in a neuron and learn about Gradient Descent. Next, we will demonstrate Training a Perceptron and dive into Forward Propagation and Backward Propagation in deep learning networks. Finally, we will look at Activation Functions with a practical demo. By the end of the week, you will have a strong understanding of these core concepts.

Welcome to Week 2 of NVIDIA: Fundamentals of Deep Learning course. This week, we will dive into Advanced Deep Learning Techniques, where we will learn about Multi-Class Classification using the MNIST Dataset and explore how deep learning models can be applied for classification tasks. We will cover training a multiclass classifier and methods to fit and evaluate the model's performance. Next, we will gain a deep understanding of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), which are essential for image recognition tasks. We will also explore Transfer Learning Techniques, which allow us to leverage pre-trained models for new tasks. By the end of the week, we will implement Transfer Learning on an Image Dataset through a practical demo, reinforcing your understanding of these advanced techniques.

Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
If you subscribed, you get a 7-day free trial during which you can cancel at no penalty. After that, we don’t give refunds, but you can cancel your subscription at any time. See our full refund policy.
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
