Deep Learning Basics: What are Neural Networks?
At its core, deep learning tries to mimic the process of learning in the brain. But the actual mapping happens with something called a neural network.
BrainStation Vancouver is now accepting applications for the Data Science Full-Time Diploma program, which is kicking off on January 7th.
The 12-week program is the first bootcamp in the city dedicated to preparing individuals for careers in data science and data analysis. It was developed with hiring partners from Canada’s largest organizations to help meet the increasing demand for Data Scientists, which is projected to rise by 28 percent in the next two years.
