Welcome to the “Deploy Bridgerton NLP SMS Text Generator” guided project. In this project, we will deploy an NLP text generator model that sends text messages of generated words to a phone number via SMS through a python Streamlit app. The model has been trained on quotes from Netflix's popular tv show "Bridgerton". This project is an intermediate python project for anyone interested in learning about how to productionize natural language text generator models as a Streamlit app on Heroku and leveraging python modules to send SMS texts. It requires preliminary knowledge on how to build and train NLP text generator models (as we will not be building or training models), how to utilize Git, and how to leverage multiple Python modules like the email and smtp modules. Learners would also need a Heroku account and some familiarity with the Python Streamlit module. At the end of this project, learners will have a publicly available Streamlit web app that leverages natural language processing text generation to send generated Bridgerton quotes via SMS to a phone number.

Machine learning systems used in Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) require further external validation, calibration analysis, assessment of bias and fairness. In this course, the main concepts of machine learning evaluation adopted in CDSS will be explained. Furthermore, decision curve analysis along with human-centred CDSS that need to be explainable will be discussed. Finally, privacy concerns of deep learning models and potential adversarial attacks will be presented along with the vision for a new generation of explainable and privacy-preserved CDSS.

This course is designed for business professionals that wish to identify basic concepts that make up machine learning, test model hypothesis using a design of experiments and train, tune and evaluate models using algorithms that solve classification, regression and forecasting, and clustering problems. To be successful in this course a learner should have a background in computing technology, including some aptitude in computer programming.

Hello everyone and welcome to this new hands-on project on data visualization and storytelling in python. In this project, we will leverage 3 powerful libraries known as Seaborn, Matplotlib and Plotly to visualize data in an interactive way. This project is practical and directly applicable to many industries. You can add this project to your portfolio of projects which is essential for your next job interview.

In this 2-hour long project-based course, you will build and train a convolutional neural network (CNN) in Keras from scratch to recognize facial expressions. The data consists of 48x48 pixel grayscale images of faces. The objective is to classify each face based on the emotion shown in the facial expression into one of seven categories (0=Angry, 1=Disgust, 2=Fear, 3=Happy, 4=Sad, 5=Surprise, 6=Neutral). You will use OpenCV to automatically detect faces in images and draw bounding boxes around them. Once you have trained, saved, and exported the CNN, you will directly serve the trained model to a web interface and perform real-time facial expression recognition on video and image data. This course runs on Coursera's hands-on project platform called Rhyme. On Rhyme, you do projects in a hands-on manner in your browser. You will get instant access to pre-configured cloud desktops containing all of the software and data you need for the project. Everything is already set up directly in your internet browser so you can just focus on learning. For this project, you’ll get instant access to a cloud desktop with Python, Jupyter, and Keras pre-installed. Notes: - You will be able to access the cloud desktop 5 times. However, you will be able to access instructions videos as many times as you want. - This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.

Please note: You will need an AWS account to complete this course. Your AWS account will be charged as per your usage. Please make sure that you are able to access Sagemaker within your AWS account. If your AWS account is new, you may need to ask AWS support for access to certain resources. You should be familiar with python programming, and AWS before starting this hands on project. We use a Sagemaker P type instance in this project for training the model, and if you don't have access to this instance type, please contact AWS support and request access. In this 2-hour long project-based course, you will how to train and deploy a Recommendation System using AWS Sagemaker. We will go through the detailed step by step process of training a recommendation system on the Amazon's Electronics dataset. We will be using a Notebook Instance to build our training model. You will learn how to use Apache's MXNET Deep Learning Model on the AWS Sagemaker platform. Since this is a practical, project-based course, we will not dive in the theory behind recommendation systems, but will focus purely on training and deploying a model with AWS Sagemaker. You will also need to have some experience with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and knowledge of how deep learning frameworks work. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.

In this 1-hour long project, you will be introduced to the Variational Autoencoder. We will discuss some basic theory behind this model, and move on to creating a machine learning project based on this architecture. Our data comprises 60.000 characters from a dataset of fonts. We will train a variational autoencoder that will be capable of compressing this character font data from 2500 dimensions down to 32 dimensions. This same model will be able to then reconstruct its original input with high fidelity. The true advantage of the variational autoencoder is its ability to create new outputs that come from distributions that closely follow its training data: we can output characters in brand new fonts. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.

In this 90 minutes long project-based course, you will learn how to create a Microsoft Azure ML Studio account, a Kaggle account for competitions and use both of them to build a machine learning model which we will be using to make predictions.
