Deep Learning Learning

Goals

1. Make Deep Learning easier (minimal code).
2. Minimise required mathematics.
3. Make it practical (runs on laptops).
4. Open Source Deep Learning Learning.

Installation

1. Install Docker https://www.docker.com/
2. Use the following commands to run from docker¹.

git clone git@github.com:sachinruk/deepschool.io.git
cd deepschool.io
docker-compose up --build

3. Now go to localhost:8888 on your browser to start using the jupyter notebooks.
