  • Programming experience in any language.
  • A general familiarity with C/C++ helps.
  • An interest in Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Audience

  • Software developers and programmers wishing to enable Machine and Deep Learning within their applications

Overview

Torch is an open source machine learning library and a scientific computing framework based on the Lua programming language. It provides a development environment for numerics, machine learning, and computer vision, with a particular emphasis on deep learning and convolutional nets. It is one of the fastest and most flexible frameworks for Machine and Deep Learning and is used by companies such as Facebook, Google, Twitter, NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, and many others.

In this instructor-led, live training, we cover the principles of Torch, its unique features, and how it can be applied in real-world applications. We step through numerous hands-on exercises all throughout, demonstrating and practicing the concepts learned.

By the end of the course, participants will have a thorough understanding of Torch's underlying features and capabilities as well as its role and contribution within the AI space compared to other frameworks and libraries. Participants will have also received the necessary practice to implement Torch in their own projects.

Format of the Course

  • Overview of Machine and Deep Learning
  • In-class coding and integration exercises
  • Test questions sprinkled along the way to check understanding
