Sentiment Analysis on IMDB reviews using RNNs deployed via AWS SageMaker
In this project you will construct a recurrent neural network for the purpose of determining the sentiment of a movie review using the IMDB data set. You will create this model using Amazon's SageMaker service. In addition, you will deploy your model and construct a simple web app which will interact with the deployed model.

Generate celebrity faces using GANs
In this project, you'll define and train a DCGAN on a dataset of faces. Your goal is to get a generator network to generate new images of faces that look as realistic as possible!
The project will be broken down into a series of tasks from loading in data to defining and training adversarial networks. At the end of the notebook, you'll be able to visualize the results of your trained Generator to see how it performs; your generated samples should look like fairly realistic faces with…In this project, you'll define and train a DCGAN on a dataset of faces. Your goal is to get a generator network to generate new images of faces that look as realistic as possible!
The project will be broken down into a series of tasks from loading in data to defining and training adversarial networks. At the end of the notebook, you'll be able to visualize the results of your trained Generator to see how it performs; your generated samples should look like fairly realistic faces with small amounts of noise. -
Generate a Seinfeld TV script using RNNs
In this project, you'll generate your own Seinfeld TV scripts using RNNs. You'll be using part of the Seinfeld dataset of scripts from 9 seasons. The Neural Network you'll build will generate a new, "fake" TV script, based on patterns it recognizes in this training data.

Dog-Breed Classifier using CNNs
Welcome to the Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) project! In this project, you will learn how to build a pipeline to process real-world, user-supplied images. Given an image of a dog, your algorithm will identify an estimate of the canine’s breed. If supplied an image of a human face, the code will identify the resembling dog breed.
Along with exploring state-of-the-art CNN models for classification, you will make important design decisions about the user experience for your app. By…Welcome to the Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) project!

If supplied an image of a human face, the code will identify the resembling dog breed.
Along with exploring state-of-the-art CNN models for classification, you will make important design decisions about the user experience for your app. By completing this lab, you demonstrate your understanding of the challenges involved in piecing together a series of models designed to perform various tasks in a data processing pipeline. -
