Hands-On Evolution of Deep Learning – Geoffrey Hinton’s AI Legacy

From the creator

Master modern neural networks by recreating the groundbreaking discoveries of Geoffrey Hinton, the visionary whose research redefined computer science and deep learning. Covering his defining papers, this course directly bridges historical breakthroughs to readable PyTorch code. This hands on coding course will give you a unified look at how today's AI landscape was engineered through one pioneer’s vision. This course follows the evolution of deep learning, from Boltzmann Machines and Backpropagation to Deep Belief Networks, Dropout, Knowledge Distillation, Capsule Networks, the Forward-Forward Algorithm, and t-SNE.

AI Maker Residence at KOKO

The third AI workshop taught by our legendary teacher, Nick Sarafa. In one of the last events we did an asset manager raised an additional £25M on their fund within a space of 9 months. This is a full-day hands-on training workshop for purposeful co-creation with AI using Claude Code. Imagine having access to hundreds of billions of dollars of computing power and knowing exactly how to make it work for you through the power of super intelligence. One person did.
