When you want to learn a new technology for professional use, there are two mutually exclusive options, either you learn it yourself or you go for instructor based training.
Self learning is least expensive but lot of time results in wasting time in finding right contents, setting up the environment , troubleshooting issues and may make you give up in the middle.
Instructor based training can be expensive at times and need your time commitment.
This course combines the best of both these options. The course is based on one of the most famous books in the field “Python Machine Learning (2nd Ed.)” by Sebastian Raschka and Vahid Mirjalili and provides you video tutorials on how to understand the AI/ML concepts from the books by providing out of box virtual machine with demo examples for each chapter in the book and complete preinstalled setup to execute the code.

Description
Artificial intelligence is one of the fastest growing fields of computer science today and the demand for excellent AI Engineers is increasing day in and day out. This course will help you stay competitive in the AI job market by teaching you how to create a Deep Learning End-to-End product on your own.
Most courses focus on the basics of Deep Learning and teach you about the very basics of different models. In this course, however, you will learn how to write a whole End-to-End pipeline, from data preprocessing across choosing the right hyper-parameters, to showing your users results in a browser.
The case that we will tackle in this course is an engine for Image to Image Search.
Why should you take this course?
This course is not focused on teaching you Neural Networks (ANNs, CNNs, RNNs…), but teaching you how to apply them in real world cases.
If you haven’t worked on a product that uses Deep Learning before, this is the perfect course for you! Throughout the course we will work together on the Image to Image Search engine, starting from ground zero – image preprocessing, creating a model, training it, then testing. After that we will create a simple web application and use it to serve our model in production.
Another cool thing about this course is that we will use multiple programming languages to create the whole application around the model itself. This will make you not only a better AI Engineer but also get you on the path towards becoming a Full stack AI Engineer.
After taking this course you will guarantee yourself to be one step closer to landing your dream job as an AI/ML Engineer by having your own AI product/project in your portfolio.
Libraries/Tools used in the course:
The whole Deep learning back-end of our pipeline will be built using Tensorflow 1.10.0. For some image preprocessing task we will use some basic functionality from OpenCV, the most important Python library for image processing tasks!
For the app’s back-end (model handling, image uploading, page navigation, etc.) we will use the Flask python framework.
And for our interactive, front-end we are going to use HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Jinja templating language. So at the end of the course you will have full stack working application.
Who is this course for?
As you can see the course is meant to teach you how to create your own Deep Learning product from scratch.
If you are just starting out with Deep Learning, this course might be too hard for you. But if you like challenges, I do recommend following it. Although I will not be explaining the meat of Neural Networks (ANNs, CNNs), I will explain most concepts in great detail, so even if you are a total beginner you should be able to follow with the help of your peers or my help through the comments section.
If you have Deep Learning experience and want to move it to the next level you will find this course very useful! You can consider it as a level up for your skills by putting your already great skills to new use. At the end of the course you will not only have learned how to create a working End-to-End pipeline, but also hold proof of your skills for potential employers!
Summary
The conclusion is this – this is very rare opportunity, not only to learn Deep Learning concepts, but also how to apply that knowledge and create your own web application (as a complete product) from scratch.
I hope to see you in class!

Wildlife experts are surprised to see animal populations recovering across eastern Australia following the devastating Black Summer bushfires.
Key points:
WWF is tracking the recovery of animal species after the Black Summer bushfires in 2019-20
Artificial intelligence and machine learning are being used to identify animal species after they are photographed
Researchers say animals are recovering “surprisingly” well after the fires
The Eyes on Recovery project conducted by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), Conservation International, and local land managers and research organisations is using artificial intelligence (AI) to monitor the recovery of animal populations since the 2019–20 bushfires.
Across eight fire-affected regions in South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales and Victoria 1,100 sensor cameras were installed.
Bushfire recovery research regions:
Kangaroo Island, SA
East Gippsland, Vic
South Coast, NSW
Southern Ranges, NSW
Blue Mountains, NSW
Central Coast, NSW
Hunter, NSW
North Coast, NSW
South East Queensland
Researchers collected more than 7 million photos that were analysed using AI technology to identify more than 150 native animals.
WWF program coordinator Emma Spencer said the results have generally been positive.
“Even deep within those heavily fire-impacted areas there are signs of recovery, from threatened species like koalas,” she said.
“In the East Gippsland area, in particular, we’ve been getting a lot of images of our beautiful long-nosed potoroos, which are endangered in the region.”
Billions of animals lost
Nearly 3 billion koalas, kangaroos and other animals were predicted to have been killed or displaced as a result of the Black Summer bushfires.
A WWF Australia study labelled it the worst single event for wildlife in Australia, and among the worst in the world, and that it likely pushed some species into extinction.

Dr Spencer has been amazed to see that animal populations are beginning to recover even in decimated habitats that were at the centre of bushfires’ destruction.
“I walked out in a lot of these areas, right after the fires,” she said.
“It’s very hard to imagine sometimes when you’re walking through that blackened landscape that anything could have survived and moved back in following the fire.
“There was a deal of surprise when, especially in those sites that were … so deep in the fire-impacted country, that we were getting not just one, but a few of those threatened species returning.”
The photos are analysed by a program that uses AI and machine learning (ML) to identify species.
It is the first time the platform has been tested on Australian wildlife and, after training, it can recognise species with about 90 per cent accuracy.
Cameras were installed in more than seven regions across eastern Australia to monitor wildlife recovery.(Supplied: WWF)
Using the technology means reviewing the images and supporting the wildlife is a more “efficient” process, Dr Spencer says.
“That means we know where the potoroos are straight away, we know where the brush-tailed rock wallabies are straight away,” she said.
“And that means we can get out and actually enact management activities, go out there and conserve those species sooner rather than later.”
Interventions to help wildlife
The data helps to inform a range of management and conservation interventions, including controlling invasive species, providing temporary artificial refuges for animals that have lost their homes and rewilding areas.
Dr Spencer says species are likely recovering well in East Gippsland due to the region’s small population of feral animals compared to other parts of eastern Australia.

“So that’s perhaps why we’re seeing such strong recovery of species like the long-footed potoroo and the long-nosed potoroo for instance,” she said.
Terrestrial ecologist at the University of Sydney Christopher Dickman said the effect of the bushfires on feral animals was largely unclear due to a lack of data except for Kangaroo Island.
“They did appear to have a substantial decline in cat activity in the wake of the fires,” he said.
“So it seems the fires had a negative impact on feral cats.”

Professor Dickman says feral animals are a larger threat post-bushfires as they can disrupt the recovery of native fauna that were already vulnerable.
“Foxes and cats are very mobile, whereas the prey species they tend to select are much smaller,” he said.
“After a fire, the fire reduces populations by a certain amount across the board.
“Foxes and cats are much better able to respond by moving in from unburnt areas into the burnt areas than the prey species simply because of their mobility.”
Monitoring to continue
The research program ends in July but many of the cameras will remain, with WWF’s ground partners continuing to monitor the wildlife recovery.
Dr Spencer says it’s important to keep monitoring the habitats.
Efforts to save greater glider after Black Summer
A new study has offered a glimpse of hope for researchers battling to conserve the endangered southern greater glider.
“There wasn’t a lot of monitoring going on before the fires,” she said.
“We actually weren’t able to really get a good idea on what we’d lost post-fires.
“So if we have another fire event, which we eventually will, we’ll know exactly how much we’ve lost and how to recover it.”
Dr Spencer said Black Summer was not an “isolated event” and that AI technology could be used to assess and monitor wildlife after future natural disasters.
“We’re expecting to get more frequent severe fires like this, but we’re also seeing lots of floods and then there’s all the droughts as well,” she said.
“This technology can be applied to help us more rapidly monitor wildlife following all those peaks of disaster events.”
But Professor Dickman says the program does have some limitations such as its inability to capture all animals.
“Some of the small reptiles, some of the frogs, greater gliders, yellowbelly gliders — they tend to spend more time in the treetops, and we’re less likely to see them on camera,” he said.
