+ \noindent Practical Deep Learning for Coders 2022 part 1, recorded at the University of Queensland, covers topics such as how to:
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Build and train deep learning models for computer vision, natural language processing, tabular analysis, and collaborative filtering problems
+ \item Create random forests and regression models
+ \item Deploy models
+ \item Use PyTorch, the world’s fastest growing deep learning software, plus popular libraries like fastai and Hugging Face
+ \end{itemize}
+
+ \para{There are 9 lessons, and each lesson is around 90 minutes long. The course is based on our 5-star rated book\footnote{\url{https://www.amazon.com/Deep-Learning-Coders-fastai-PyTorch/dp/1492045527}}, which is freely available online\footnote{\url{https://course.fast.ai/Resources/book.html}}.}

+ \noindent\textbf{Your teacher}
+
+ I am Jeremy Howard, your guide on this journey. I lead the development of fastai, the software that you’ll be using throughout this course. I have been using and teaching machine learning for around 30 years. I was the top-ranked competitor globally in machine learning competitions on Kaggle (the world’s largest machine learning community) two years running. Following this success, I became the President and Chief Scientist of Kaggle. Since first using neural networks 25 years ago, I have led many companies and projects that have machine learning at their core, including founding the first company to focus on deep learning and medicine, Enlitic (chosen by MIT Tech Review as one of the “world’s smartest companies”).
+
+ I am the co-founder, along with Dr. Rachel Thomas, of fast.ai, the organization behind this course. At fast.ai we care a lot about teaching. In this course, I start by showing how to use a complete, working, very usable, state-of-the-art deep learning network to solve real-world problems, using simple, expressive tools. And then we gradually dig deeper and deeper into understanding how those tools are made, and how the tools that make those tools are made, and so on… We always teach through examples. We ensure that there is a context and a purpose that you can understand intuitively, rather than starting with algebraic symbol manipulation.
