🌟 About
Braneshop helps individuals and organisations understand and adopt artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), deep learning (DL), and related technologies.
We specialise in teaching these techniques in an intuitive and hands-on way. Our workshops are organised in a group setting and learning takes place through a mix of theory and practice.
🏝 Workshops
» 6 Week Technical Deep Learning Workshop Starts on the 8th of August
A six-week hands-on machine learning workshop for those wanting to break into the AI industry.
Over 6 weeks, with 3 contact hours per week, you will get to grips with deep learning through Python, TensorFlow and Google Colaboratory. Our experienced instructors will work closely to support you to gain an intuitive understanding of deep learning, and hands-on experience in solving problems across typical domains of deep learning, such as understanding images, videos, text, and learning to harness the structure within "raw" datasets.
» AI For Leadership On the 23rd of September
Tailored to executives, startup founders, government groups, and leadership teams.
In this one-day intensive session, we will cover everything that you need to know in order to build AI into your organisation. This course is for those looking to: build an internal AI capability, engage a consultancy to build an AI product, or for those wanting an understanding of best-practice AI adoption.
» Intensive Technical Deep Learning Workshop
A specialised deep learning intensive session, tailored towards the kinds of problems and areas your organisation is interested in.
This is a specialised workshop aimed at bringing a small technical team up to speed on a specific aspect of deep learning. Starting with the necssary building blocks, our instructors will work with you to deliver content specific to your interest.
Example topics include: natural language processing, model interpretability, model compression, computer vision, tracking, AI and the arts, generative models, time-series analysis.
🌈 Our Values
"AI has the capability of providing something for everybody, only because, and only when, it is created by everybody.” ~ Jane Jacobs (She said "cities" instead of "AI", but it's well-expressed!)
Empathy & Ethics
The software we write and algorithms we deploy will affect people. We aim to be aware of potential impacts and create a culture of empathetic ethical engineering.
Community & Diversity
We want to create a positive impact in our local community. We believe that change is best driven locally, upwards.
Empowerment
Skills allow for empowerment and can yield independence. By building technical skills, we hope to enable others to make the kind of change they want to see; change that benefits them and their community.
Happiness
Learning should be fun! We want people to come away from this workshop feeling excited, happy and motivated to implement new systems and processes.
Adaptability
Each group of people comes to the Braneshop with different skills, interests and abilities. We aim to be adaptable to the groups we get, to engage with each individual on a personal level, and present the material in a way that is meaningful, relatable and intuitive.
