Prefer to Clone Locally?

Dis repository get 50+ language translations wey full ground, na im dey make di download size big. If you want clone without translations, use sparse checkout:

git clone --filter=blob:none --sparse https://github.com/microsoft/AI-For-Beginners.git
cd AI-For-Beginners
git sparse-checkout set --no-cone '/*' '!translations' '!translated_images'

Dis go give you everything wey you need to complete di course wit much faster download.

If you want make dem add extra translation languages, dem list dey here

Wetin you go learn

Mindmap of the Course

For this curriculum, you go learn:

  • Different ways to do Artificial Intelligence, including di "good old" symbolic way wit Knowledge Representation and reasoning (GOFAI).
  • Neural Networks and Deep Learning, wey be di main tin for modern AI. We go show di concepts behind these important topics wit code for two popular frameworks - TensorFlow and PyTorch.
  • Neural Architectures for work wit images and text. We go cover recent models but e fit no too strong for the newest ones.
  • Less popular AI ways, like Genetic Algorithms and Multi-Agent Systems.

Wetin we no go talk for dis curriculum:

Each lesson contains

  • Pre-reading material
  • Executable Jupyter Notebooks, wey dey often specific to the framework (PyTorch or TensorFlow). The executable notebook sef get plenty theoretical material, so to understand the topic you need to go through at least one version of the notebook (either PyTorch or TensorFlow).
  • Labs wey dey available for some topics, wey go give you chance to try apply wetin you don learn for a specific problem.
  • Some sections get links to MS Learn modules wey cover related topics.
