Deep Learning and the Game of Go

Service Description

Learn the basics of deep learning and neural networks by building your own version of Alpha Go/Zero, the program that conquered Go, humanity's oldest board game. This course will consist of eight 1.5 hour online collaborative sessions each Tuesday or Wednesday evening. Advanced knowledge of Go is not required, since the course will go over how to train the program to play at a high level. We will also cover how to integrate the ML model with a web application and deploy it online so users can interact with it; no prior ML background necessary, but intermediate knowledge of the Python programming language and coding strongly recommended. The course will be led by Linden Chiu, a backend software engineer formerly with LinkedIn's Messaging Platform team and expert go player. **Textbook is recommended and available for purchase at: https://www.manning.com/books/deep-learning-and-the-game-of-go
