Classifying Metastatic Breast Cancer Tissue

In this workshop, we will train a deep neural network to identify metastatic cancer in small image patches taken from larger digital pathology scans (an on-going Kaggle competition).

Where to go next?

1. Fast.ai - Practical deep learning for coders. “Learn how to build state of the art models without needing graduate-level math — but also without dumbing anything down”. I would highly recommend this course, although they suggest having at least one year of python beforehand.
2. Andrew Ng's Machine Learning on Coursera - Arguably the most popular machine learning course. It starts with the fundamentals, as opposed to the top down approach of Fast.ai
