What it does
This repository holds the hands-on lab materials and code for MIT's Introduction to Deep Learning course. Lecture slides and videos are on the course website.
The labs are designed to run in Google Colaboratory, a free notebook environment in your web browser, so there is nothing to install.
You work through the notebooks and fill in the missing pieces to get the code running.
Who it's for
Students and self-learners who want a structured, hands-on introduction to deep learning.
