Description

Introduction

Deep learning is a subset of machine learning that uses neural networks to model complex patterns and relationships in data. Regression, a fundamental task in data science, predicts continuous values such as prices or temperatures. TensorFlow, an open-source framework by Google, provides powerful tools to design, train, and deploy neural networks for regression problems. This training focuses on building deep learning regression models with TensorFlow, equipping participants with the skills to handle real-world applications like forecasting, resource allocation, and anomaly detection.

2. Familiarity with linear algebra and calculus (basic level).
3. Knowledge of machine learning fundamentals.
4. Experience with TensorFlow installation and setup (optional but recommended).
5. Willingness to learn neural network principles and optimization techniques.
