Beginner's Guide to Object Detection With Convolutional Neural Networks
Details
Learn how to build Object Detectors in Tensorflow using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs).
Tensorflow is the core open-source library to help you develop and train ML models. Yet it can remain a mystery how it can be used with your own image datasets. Join this workshop to learn how to use it.
In this Beginners Machine Learning workshop, you will learn about:
- Object Detection vs image classification models
- The most popular object detection models: RCNNs, Region Proposals and YOLO Networks
- How to build an object detection model from scratch on Google Colab and train it on a GPU
- How to run object detection models on a video
In this training, we will approach the problem from the ground up. Reviewing how object detectors work without getting bogged down into the detail and getting some models training as fast as possible. The workshop materials will be delivered in a combination of coding exercises and lectures.
This is A FREE training not to be missed.
Please note training notebooks and materials will be released after the session only to the attendees free of charge.
In the coming sessions, we will explore more advanced concepts such as data preparation and analysis.

Q&A:
- What will I need to bring to this workshop?
Just a pen, paper and a laptop. - I am an absolute beginner. Can I still come?
This is an intermediate-level workshop. We expect you to have intermediate knowledge of Python (Lists, Dictionaries, Loops, Functions, classes)
Knowledge of data science libraries (NumPy, matplotlib, pandas, scikit-learn) will be advantageous. - Do I need to pay money for this workshop or Microsoft Azure?
No. This workshop is a free online workshop.
