Learn Deep Learning with this Free Course from Yann Lecun - KDnuggets

It goes without saying that there are a nearly unlimited number of resources available for learning deep learning from scratch. This applies at least equally to freely-available resources, it not more so than paid. A course which has been on the community's radar recently and being shared widely across social media is the aptly titled Deep Learning course from the NYU Center for Data Science, taught by Yann LeCun & Alfredo Canziani. This course concerns the latest techniques in deep learning and representation learning, focusing on supervised and unsupervised deep learning, embedding methods, metric learning, convolutional and recurrent nets, with applications to computer vision, natural language understanding, and speech recognition. The prerequisites include: DS-GA 1001 Intro to Data Science or a graduate-level machine learning course.
