If you want to dive into the technology behind computer vision and self driving cars, this is where to start.

In this course you'll learn how to process data from image files and create convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to classify different types of images. After completing this course, you will have a solid understanding of why CNNs work and which CNN architectures to use for different tasks.

The code for this course is built around the TensorFlow framework, one of the premier frameworks for industry machine learning, and the Python pandas library for data analysis. Knowledge of Python and TensorFlow are prerequisites. 

This course was created by AdaptiLab, a company specializing in evaluating, sourcing, and upskilling enterprise machine learning talent. It is built in collaboration with industry machine learning experts from Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Apple.

<h2>A. Regularization</h2>


<p>For extremely deep models like ResNet, it is vital that we <i>regularize</i> the model, i.e. apply techniques to prevent overfitting. In the <b>CNN</b> and <b>SqueezeNet</b> sections, we used <i>dropout</i> for regularization. However, in ResNet we don't use dropout because it is normally not necessary to use dropout together with batch normalization.</p>
<p>The creators of batch normalization found that, along with reducing internal covariate shift, batch normalization also regularizes the model. This is because we take into account the entire batch of inputs when performing batch normalization, which reduces the chances that the model overfits on a few outliers. Since we apply batch normalization before nearly every weight layer, it alone is sufficient for regularization.</p>
