Neural Networks: Essentials

Course code: INTN35

This course combines theory and practice to immerse you in the core concepts of neural network models and the essential practices of real-world application. During the course, you programmatically build a neural network and discover how to adjust the model’s essential parameters to solve different types of business challenges. You implement early stopping, build autoencoders for a predictive model, and perform an intelligent automatic search of the model hyperparameter values. The last lesson introduces deep learning. You gain hands-on practice building neural networks in SAS 9.4 and the cutting-edge, cloud-enabled in-memory analytics engine for big data analytics, SAS Viya.

The self-study e-learning includes:

  • Annotatable course notes in PDF format.
  • Virtual lab time to practice.
