The training was organized and well-planned out, and I come out of it with systematized knowledge and a good look at topics we looked at
Magdalena - Samsung Electronics Polska Sp. z o.o.
Course - Deep Learning with TensorFlow 2
I really liked the end where we took the time to play around with CHAT GPT. The room was not set up the best for this- instead of one large table a couple of small ones so we could get into small groups and brainstorm would have helped
