What our graduates are saying

5/5

Jason Lee, Alumni

Thank you so much for coordinating an awesome course. The assistant instructor was really great in exposing to us how course material is applied in production level environment. I also like the instructor’s approach of pushing us to build from fundamental to real project using PyTorch first. And then progressing to Tensorflow. Personally, I think it’s a super awesome course, but I believe you really have to dig yourself into the contents and dedicate many head banging hours. But course material is very practical both in theory and application. Thanks much!

5/5

Waqas Khan, Senior Data Scientist

All the Instructors and TA’s are very knowledgeable and are always available for any clarification or support. There are dedicated TA office hours daily to assist students if there are any roadblocks in their assignments. Students are generally from very different backgrounds and experience levels but the Instructors and TA’s do a great job to make sure that everyone is following along and is on the same page.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the bootcamp
To become successful in this course the learner will need to have solid python programming skills and experience with machine learning. Understanding of neural network and deep learning basics and familiarity with PyTorch or Tensorflow libraries will be useful. Knowing how to work with Numpy arrays and basic image processing skills using libraries such as OpenCV will be helpful as well.
Yes. This course focuses on the computer vision applications and use deep learning heavily. Learners will need to be comfortable with ML pipelines, training neural networks using PyTorch
Though the course is designed for anyone who wants to learn computer vision applications with deep learning, knowing how to process image files before attending this course will be very helpful. We recommend learners go through some prep materials and learn how to work with opencv. Basic data processing skills with Numpy and Pandas are also useful.
This course is very practical and focuses on implementation. It specifically focuses on the CNN (convolutional neural networks) models and various architectures. It also covers different use cases of computer vision such as image classification, image recognition, semantic segmentation, and generative models in CV. For generative models, we cover GANs and Diffusion Models and will focus more on how to apply them for different tasks.
We don’t offer extensive job support in our short courses. If you need career mentorship and help, you have two options. You can either enrol in the career mentorship program with alumni discount or consider joining our machine learning bootcamp. You will be able to get a $5000 scholarship for the Bootcamp and fully take advantage of the career support.
Depending on your existing skill sets and experience with machine learning, learners usually spend 15 to 20 hours each week (including the lectures and labs)
Yes, during the regular weeks we have office hours and labs sheets students get to follow labs and ask questions. During the project weeks, students will join the project mentoring sessions to interact the project mentors.
The project mentors will teach students the blueprint of building end to end computer vision project. Students are encouraged to have their own ideas and project use cases. Project can be fairly advanced depending on the time commitment.
Labs are designed to help learners practice what’s taught during the lectures. Instructors will be hands-on demos and cover new topics. Any questions regarding the lectures, demos will be addressed in the lab sessions. Students will be given additional lab exercises and self-paced exercises to work on. Lab instructors will provide live solution walkthroughs and students are encouraged to follow along and ask lots of questions. If the students have additional questions outside of the class, we encourage you to reach out to teaching assistants on Slack or attend the office hours.
This course is designed to be very hands-on. It’s impossible to become good at computer vision and deep learning without actually trying to build projects. If you prefer a more academic environment, we recommend you consider a Master’s program. If you want to gain practical experience and build portfolio projects, this is the perfect course.
We will cover how to process images using OpenCV and Torchvision. PyTorch and Huggingface will be used heavily for model training and tunings. Apart from the tools, learners will also need to know how to load and apply open source CV models such as stable diffusion, and how to work with GPUs.
There are two types of projects: personal projects (also called capstone or portfolio projects) and real client projects. All students in the course will need to complete the capstone project. The real client project is a different training and career service offered at WeCloudData via our partner Beamdata. Learners will become a trainee and receive project-based training. Learners will be assigned to a real project team to work with clients and get mentored and trained by our project managers and project leads. It’s a great learning opportunity and also allow the students to gain real experience to stand out in the job market. You can talk to our learning advisors to find more details.
Yes. Lots of labs and exercises. Students will have access to quizzes so they can test their knowledge on certain topics.
Yes, payment plan is available for this course. You can fill out the form on this course page to access the course package page. It has funding related information. Our learning advisor can also help you with your questions.
Yes, absolutely. All short courses are eligible for bundling and scholarship. When you purchase multiple courses you can get good discounts. Please reach out to our learning advisors by filling out the inquiry form.

Yes. Scholarship is available for students who meet the requirements. A scholarship test needs to be completed and the learner needs have a 20-minute live assessment with the program manager. Alumni who have completed courses that meet the pre-requisites will also be eligible for scholarships.
This is a short course that’s part of the diploma program which is only available to learners in Canada, and you will need to complete 3 courses. Please contact our learning advisor for more details. For US and international learners, you will get a certificate by completing the course.
Courses in the AI/ML program usually have a good mix of learners from various background. Most students already have python programming and data science experiences. It doesn’t have to be related work experience though. We have learners who has completed self-paced ML courses or other data science bootcamps as well. Typically learners come from: 1. Data scientist who want to up-skill themselves. 2. Software engineers who want to learn how to build CV applications. 3. New graduates from computer science or computer engineering who have taken ML courses in school or who can complete the pre-course materials on their own. 4. Career switchers who take this course as part of the ML Engineering Bootcamp. 5. Non-tech background learners who have completed WeCloudData’s AI short courses as a pre-requisites. 6. PhD graduates who want to fast track their job search and meet the technical pre-requisites
