For each lesson, I am going to give you a practical and well-rounded definition, as well as hands on examples, so that you would really experience deep learning, and apply each concept appropriately to your own work. At the end, I will also cover some case studies step by step. The goal is to get you more familiar with the tools. And we will walk through all the decisions together.
