Objective:
The primary objective of this lesson is to empower adult learners to translate their theoretical knowledge of deep learning into practical skills that can be applied to solve real-world problems. By the end of this lesson, learners should be able to implement deep learning models, understand their architecture and functioning, and troubleshoot common issues.
Comprehensive Content Overview:
Deep Learning is a subset of machine learning where neural networks—algorithms inspired by the human brain—learn from large amounts of data. Deep learning enables many practical applications such as image and speech recognition, natural language processing, and autonomous vehicles.

In-depth Explanations with Actionable Insights:
Understanding Neural Networks: Let’s start by creating a simple neural network using Python’s TensorFlow library. The network will have an input layer, one hidden layer, and an output layer.
“`python import tensorflow as tf from tensorflow.keras.models import Sequential from tensorflow.keras.layers import Dense
# Creating a Sequential model model = Sequential([ Dense(units=4, activation=’relu’, input_shape=(2,)), Dense(units=2, activation=’relu’), ...
