Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit 2.x Training Course

Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit 2.x (previously CNTK) is an open-source, commercial-grade toolkit that trains deep learning algorithms to learn like the human brain. According to Microsoft, CNTK can be 5-10x faster than TensorFlow on recurrent networks, and 2 to 3 times faster than TensorFlow for image-related tasks.

In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn how to use Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit to create, train and evaluate deep learning algorithms for use in commercial-grade AI applications involving multiple types of data such as data, speech, text, and images.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Access CNTK as a library from within a Python, C#, or C++ program
• Use CNTK as a standalone machine learning tool through its own model description language (BrainScript)
• Use the CNTK model evaluation functionality from a Java program
• Combine feed-forward DNNs, convolutional nets (CNNs), and recurrent networks (RNNs/LSTMs)
• Scale computation capacity on CPUs, GPUs and multiple machines
• Access massive datasets using existing programming languages and algorithms

Audience

• Developers
• Data scientists

Format of the course

• Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice

Note

• If you wish to customize any part of this training, including the programming language of choice, please contact us to arrange.
