Reading Deep Learning Architectures: From CNNs to Transformers

This course is for those who are familiar with deep learning terminology but feel overwhelmed by how models learn. Across 13 lectures, it connects and explains the key principles, from the fundamentals of linear models and neural networks to backpropagation, optimization, CNNs, RNNs, and transformers. You will build a solid foundation for studying deep learning systematically by understanding model architectures, the learning process, and the factors that affect performance.
