Basic knowledge of python or have cursed an optative like Introduction to Programming with Python.

This course builds on basic python knowledge, having good python programming skills is a plus.

The course consist on four modules: Advanced python programming, introduction to neural networks, Introduction to PyTorch and Deep learning with PyTorch. These four modules will be distributed along the duration of the course.

This course enables you to do advanced data analysis using python.

Nowadays, and thanks to the big advancements in technology, companies are often required to ingest and process big quantities of data. In this regard, companies have departed from the traditional way of using spreadsheets, to more advanced data processing strategies and big data analysis tools, which often are based on deep learning and complex data analysis programs.

Given the needs that nowadays companies require for data analysis, having advanced knowledge of programming strategies and basic notions of deep learning is a fundamental skill.

This course enables you to achieve advanced programming skills in python, using production ready tools, as well as having a better understanding of the inner workings of deep learning in python.

We cannot promise that you will become an expert python programmer, but surely you will develop the skills to become one.

Looking forward to meet you!!
