Duration 3 Days 18 CPD hours This course is intended for This course is geared for attendees with Intermediate IT skills who wish to learn Computer Vision with tensor flow 2 Overview This 'skills-centric' course is about 50% hands-on lab and 50% lecture, with extensive practical exercises designed to reinforce fundamental skills, concepts and best practices taught throughout the course. Working in a hands-on learning environment, led by our Computer Vision expert instructor, students will learn about and explore how to Build, train, and serve your own deep neural networks with TensorFlow 2 and Keras Apply modern solutions to a wide range of applications such as object detection and video analysis Run your models on mobile devices and web pages and improve their performance. Create your own neural networks from scratch Classify images with modern architectures including Inception and ResNet Detect and segment objects in images with YOLO, Mask R-CNN, and U-Net Tackle problems faced when developing self-driving cars and facial emotion recognition systems Boost your application's performance with transfer learning, GANs, and domain adaptation Use recurrent neural networks (RNNs) for video analysis Optimize and deploy your networks on mobile devices and in the browser Computer vision solutions are becoming increasingly common, making their way into fields such as health, automobile, social media, and robotics. Hands-On Computervision with TensorFlow 2 is a hands-on course that thoroughly explores TensorFlow 2, the brandnew version of Google's open source framework for machine learning. You will understand how to benefit from using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for visual tasks. This course begins with the fundamentals of computer vision and deep learning, teaching you how to build a neural network from scratch. You will discover the features that have made TensorFlow the most widely used AI library, along with its intuitive Keras interface. You'll then move on to building, training, and deploying CNNs efficiently. Complete with concrete code examples, the course demonstrates how to classify images with modern solutions, such as Inception and ResNet, and extract specific content using You Only Look Once (YOLO), Mask R-CNN, and U-Net. You will also build generative dversarial networks (GANs) and variational autoencoders (VAEs) to create and edit images, and long short-term memory networks (LSTMs) to analyze videos. In the process, you will acquire advanced insights into transfer learning, data augmentation, domain adaptation, and mobile and web deployment, among other key concepts Computer Vision and Neural Networks Computer Vision and Neural Networks Technical requirements Computer vision in the wild A brief history of computer vision Getting started with neural networks TensorFlow Basics and Training a Model TensorFlow Basics and Training a Model Technical requirements Getting started with TensorFlow 2 and Keras TensorFlow 2 and Keras in detail The TensorFlow ecosystem Modern Neural Networks Modern Neural Networks Technical requirements Discovering convolutional neural networks Refining the training process Influential Classification Tools Influential Classification Tools Technical requirements Understanding advanced CNN architectures Leveraging transfer learning Object Detection Models Object Detection Models Technical requirements Introducing object detection A fast object detection algorithm YOLO Faster R-CNN ? a powerful object detection model Enhancing and Segmenting Images Enhancing and Segmenting Images Technical requirements Transforming images with encoders-decoders Understanding semantic segmentation Training on Complex and Scarce Datasets Training on Complex and Scarce Datasets Technical requirements Efficient data serving How to deal with data scarcity Video and Recurrent Neural Networks Video and Recurrent Neural Networks Technical requirements Introducing RNNs Classifying videos Optimizing Models and Deploying on Mobile Devices Optimizing Models and Deploying on Mobile Devices Technical requirements Optimizing computational and disk footprints On-device machine learning Example app ? recognizing facial expressions

What do engineers and project managers need to know of finance? 'Nothing - leave it to the accountants!' No, no, no! Engineers must be conversant with the terminology and statements that accountants use. Technical expertise in projects, service delivery, production or other areas can only really be harnessed if the managers understand the accounting and reporting that drives businesses. This course gives the necessary understanding to project, production and technical managers. It develops their skills in understanding financial and management accounting. Accountants may not always like it but a major part of their work is to be the 'servants of business' and to gather, compile and present your figures. So you must understand the figures - they belong to you, your processes or projects. There are many reasons for maintaining accurate accounts. This course focuses on the strategic issues (those over-used words) - what figures reveal about the drivers of business and what they reveal about the day-to-day issues that accountants bother you with. The course will enhance your understanding of finance and of the accounting issues which affect your projects, production and technical areas of business. This course will help you: Understand the business world in figures - make sense of what the accountants are telling you Appreciate what drives business - and how this affects your role in your part of the business Relate your activities to the success of the business - through figures Gain the skills to advance in management - financial awareness is a 'must have' if you are to progress in your career 1 What do accountants do? The finance function, types of accountant, financial v management accounting and the treasury function Understanding the role of the finance function and how the information you provide may be used 2 The basic financial statements Balance sheets and income statements (P&L accounts) What they are, what they contain and above all what they can reveal - how to read them The accounting process - from transactions to financial statements What underpins the statements - accounting systems and internal controls 3 Why be in business - from a financial perspective The driving forces behind financial information Performance measures - profitability, asset utilisation, sales and throughput, managing capital expenditure 4 Accounting rules - accounting standards Accounting concepts and the accounting rules: accruals, 'going concern' - substance over form and other 'desirable qualities' Accruals - why the timing of a transaction is so important to the finance function Depreciation and amortisation - the concepts and practice Accounting standards - the role of International Financial Reporting Standards 5 Cash The importance of cash flow - working capital management Cash flow statements - monitoring overall cash flows Raising cash - levels of borrowing, gearing Spending cash - an outline of capital expenditure appraisal 6 Budgeting Why budget? - good and bad practice Determining why budgets play a key role and should not be simply an annual ritual Justifying your budgets - the link between the strategic plan and day-to-day budgeting - alignment of company culture Budgets as motivators - the importance of the right culture Techniques to improve budgeting - whether day-to-day or capital budgeting 7 Costing The type and detail of costing very much depends on your business - eg, manufacturing piston rings is quite different from the construction of a power plant Issues with overhead allocation Accounting for R&D 8 Reading financial statements Annual financial statements - why they are produced, what's in them and what you should look for Learning what a set of accounts reveals about a company's current situation, profitability and future prospects 9 Performance measurement - analytical reviews and ratio analysis ROI/ROCE Profitability, margins and cost control Sales - asset turnover Efficiency (asset / stock turnover, debtor / creditor days) 'City' measures Investment (interest / dividend cover, earnings per share, dividend yield)
