Fundamentals of

Artificial Intelligence (AI) &

Machine Learning (ML)

 

Machine learning represents a subset of Artificial Intelligence where machines gain the capability to learn autonomously without direct programming.

Deep learning, a specialized area within machine learning, employs algorithms inspired by the structure and function of the brain’s neural networks to interpret complex data patterns.

Python, renowned for its straightforward syntax and code legibility, is a widely-used high-level programming language.

During this interactive, live training, participants will delve into the application of deep learning in the telecommunications sector using Python, culminating in the development of a model to assess credit risk.

At the conclusion of this training, participants will:

– Grasp the key principles of deep learning.
– Explore deep learning’s role and potential within the telecom industry.
– Employ Python alongside Keras and TensorFlow to construct telecommunication-focused deep learning models.
– Develop a bespoke model for predicting customer churn with Python.

 

Training Approach:

– Engaging lectures complemented by in-depth discussions.
– Extensive hands-on exercises and practical application.
– Real-time coding and model development in a live-lab setup.
