Getting Started With Deep Learning: Improving Performance

Move on from what you learned from studying the principles of recurrent neural networks, and how they can solve problems involving sequencing, with this cohesive lesson on Improving Performace. Learn to improve the performance of your neural networks by starting with learning curves that allow you to answer the right questions. This could be needing more data or, even, building a better model to improve your performance.

Further into the lesson, you will explore the fundamentals around bash normalization, drop-out, and regularization.

This lesson also touches on data augmentation and its ability to allow you to build new data from your starting training data, culminating in hyper-parameter optimization. This is a tool to that aids in helping you to decide how to tune the external parameters of your network.

This lesson is made up of 13 lectures and three accompanying exercises. This Cloud Academy lesson is in collaboration with Catalit.

 Learning Objectives
