This course comprehensively introduces JAX and Flax, two open-source libraries that have gained prominence for their efficiency, flexibility, and scalability in deep learning applications. 

In this course, you’ll explore deep learning principles and understand the unique features of JAX and Flax. You will learn the basics of JAX, optimizers using JAX and Flax, and loss and activation functions. You’ll also learn how to load datasets, perform classification using distributed learning, and use ResNet and LSTM models. In the end, you will complete a project for hands-on experience using JAX and Flax for transfer learning. 

By the end of the course, you’ll be proficient in implementing and customizing neural network models using JAX and Flax, equipped with hands-on skills in advanced optimization and distributed training.

Deep Learning with JAX and Flax

# Problem statement
Using the JAX library, we have implemented a vanilla convolutional neural network for you. You are required to initialize the optimizers and observe the change in the loss (if any).
 You are required to perform the following tasks:
1. Apply SGD  as an optimizer.
2. Apply AdaBelief as an optimizer.
3. Check the difference between the loss values. Which one performs better in this case?

# Try it yourself
Write your code in the notebook given below:




Test your understanding by training a model using multiple optimizers.
