AI & Machine Learning in Healthcare
Module-by-module breakdown of Deep Learning Fundamentals, from foundations to a certified capstone project.
Networks
β’ Perceptrons, activation functions and why non-linearity is essential
β’ Forward pass, loss functions and backpropagation mechanics
β’ Gradient descent variants and the role of the learning rate
Training
β’ Initialisation, normalisation and vanishing or exploding gradients
β’ Regularisation: dropout, weight decay and early stopping
β’ Reading loss curves to diagnose what is going wrong
Vision
β’ Convolution, pooling and receptive fields
β’ Standard architectures and residual connections
β’ Data augmentation and transfer learning from pretrained backbones
Sequences
β’ Sequence modelling with RNNs and LSTMs, and their limitations
β’ Attention and the transformer block
β’ Tokenisation and embeddings for text
Practice
β’ PyTorch training loops, datasets and dataloaders
β’ GPU memory, batch size and mixed precision
β’ Overfitting a single batch as a first debugging step
