In this course, we will build on our knowledge of basic models and explore advanced AI techniques. We’ll start with a deep dive into neural networks, building our knowledge from the ground up by examining the structure and properties. Then we’ll code some simple neural network models and learn to avoid overfitting, regularization, and other hyper-parameter tricks. After a project predicting likelihood of heart disease given health characteristics, we’ll move to random forests. We’ll describe the differences between the two techniques and explore their differing origins in detail. Finally, we’ll complete a project predicting similarity between health patients using random forests.
In this module, we'll go through neural networks and how to use them in Python. We'll start by describing what a neural network is and how to construct one by combining a sequence of linear models. Then, we'll talk about converge of neural networks in the hopes of minimizing a loss function. Finally, we'll learn how to code a neural network in Python.

In this module, we'll take a more detailed look into neural network and the considerations we should be having when using them. We'll start by adding layers to our 2-layer network, exploring the different options and their effects. Then, we'll explore some more advanced Python libraries for neural networks in TensorFlow and Keras. Finally, we'll discuss the implications to science and how to apply the models in the space.

In this module, we'll build up our knowledge of random forests and their uses in science. We'll start by exploring decision trees and how they operate as models in isolation. Next, we'll look at the impact of combining decision trees to create random forests. From here, we'll talk about the similarities and differences between regression and classification with random forests before concluding with a final project predicting species from lineage.

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.
