Testimonials

The concepts and tools covered are highly relevant to industrial applications of computer vision, the projects are fun and help to solidify learnings, and the quality of instruction is very high.

Ali Jeffrey Razfar Staff Software Engineer, Linkedin

I entered this course with a basic knowledge of the fundamentals of machine learning, and by the time I finished I felt confident enough to start tackling computer vision projects on my own. This was a great crash course in both computer vision as well as modern deep learning workflows.

Zachary HaluzaSoftware engineer, Meta

Abubakar is amongst the best teachers I’ve ever had. I was entirely new to machine learning yet he was able to distill complicated concepts clearly and effectively. I felt everywhere else was teaching me just the surface, but Abubakar was able to tie the theory, practice and intuition together.

Ali AbdallaEngineer at Hugging Face

The course was amazing. The content was great, the projects were not only hands on, but also practical applications that I could send to my friends. And also this course set the foundations for me to develop other projects. I also liked a lot that we used huggingface and other pretty new technologies that are not normally part of other ML online courses that I've seen.

Marcela Rosales Software Engineer, Intel

This course is a perfect course for one yearning to build AI vision applications. I had lot of fun learning and working through the project in this course!

It has been my pleasure to be Abubakar Abid's student as he has taught visual algorithms. Abubakar is an excellent educator with a great ability to explain complex concepts in a simple and intuitive manner, something that has made learning enjoyable for me. Not only is he very highly capable from the technical aspects, but he is also an outstanding communicator
