Post Graduate Certificate Program in Artificial Intelligence & Deep Learning

Artificial intelligence (AI) is an area of computer science that emphasizes the creation of intelligent machines
that work and react like humans. Some of the activities, computers with artificial intelligence are designed for
include: Speech recognition, Image Recognition and pattern recognition. It has helped businesses around the
world grow at a rapid pace with reduction in time and cost. AI and Deep learning (DL) promise to not only
improve the customer experience, but also change the way companies operate. More than 50% businesses are
planning to implement AI & DL for different purposes to improve their business efficiencies. No doubt why AI
& DL is the most sought skillset globally since the last few years. The PG Certificate Program in Artificial
Intelligence is for candidates aspiring to enhance their skillsets in Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning and
be at the top in the competition. The program aims to train learners on widely used methods and Libraries used
in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Deep Learning and Neural Networks.

Key Learnings

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

AI research is defined as the study of "intelligent agents": any device that perceives its environment
and takes actions that maximize its chance of successfully achieving its goals. Colloquially, the term
"artificial intelligence" is applied when a machine mimics "cognitive" functions that humans associate
with other human minds, such as "learning" and "problem solving".

TensorFlow TM
It’s a software library for high performance numerical computation. Its easy to use and allows easy
computation across a variety of platforms (CPUs, GPUs, TPUs), and from desktops of clusters of
servers to mobile and edge devices. It has been developed Google Brain Team within Google’s AI
organization.

Scikit-Learn (SKLearn)
It’s a machine learning library for the Python programming language. It features various classification,
regression and clustering algorithms including support vector machines, random forests, gradient
boosting, k-means and DBSCAN, and is designed to interoperate with the Python numerical and
scientific libraries.

Keras
It is capable of running on top of TensorFlow, Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit or Theano. Designed to
enable fast experimentation with deep neural networks, it focuses on being user-friendly, modular,
and extensible.
