> **Prefer to Clone Locally?**
>
> This repository includes 50+ language translations which significantly increases the download size. To clone without translations, use sparse checkout:
>
> **Bash / macOS / Linux:**
> ```bash
> git clone --filter=blob:none --sparse https://github.com/microsoft/AI-For-Beginners.git
> cd AI-For-Beginners
> git sparse-checkout set --no-cone '/*' '!translations' '!translated_images'
> ```
>
> **CMD (Windows):**
> ```cmd
> git clone --filter=blob:none --sparse https://github.com/microsoft/AI-For-Beginners.git
> cd AI-For-Beginners
> git sparse-checkout set --no-cone "/*" "!translations" "!translated_images"
> ```
>
> This gives you everything you need to complete the course with a much faster download.

## What you will learn

**[Mindmap of the Course](http://soshnikov.com/courses/ai-for-beginners/mindmap.html)**

In this curriculum, you will learn:

* Different approaches to Artificial Intelligence, including the "good old" symbolic approach with **Knowledge Representation** and reasoning ([GOFAI](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_artificial_intelligence)).
* **Neural Networks** and **Deep Learning**, which are at the core of modern AI. We will illustrate the concepts behind these important topics using code in two of the most popular frameworks - [TensorFlow](http://Tensorflow.org) and [PyTorch](http://pytorch.org).
* **Neural Architectures** for working with images and text. We will cover recent models but may be a bit lacking in the state-of-the-art.
* Less popular AI approaches, such as **Genetic Algorithms** and **Multi-Agent Systems**.

What we will not cover in this curriculum:

> [Find all additional resources for this course in our Microsoft Learn collection](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/collections/7w28iy2xrqzdj0?WT.mc_id=academic-77998-bethanycheum)

* Business cases of using **AI in Business**. Consider taking [Introduction to AI for business users](https://docs.microsoft.com/learn/paths/introduction-ai-for-business-users/?WT.mc_id=academic-77998-bethanycheum) learning path on Microsoft Learn, or [AI Business School](https://www.microsoft.com/ai/ai-business-school/?WT.mc_id=academic-77998-bethanycheum), developed in cooperation with [INSEAD](https://www.insead.edu/).
* **Classic Machine Learning**, which is well described in our [Machine Learning for Beginners Curriculum](http://github.com/Microsoft/ML-for-Beginners).
* Practical AI applications built using **[Cognitive Services](https://azure.microsoft.com/services/cognitive-services/?WT.mc_id=academic-77998-bethanycheum)**. For this, we recommend that you start with modules Microsoft Learn for [vision](https://docs.microsoft.com/learn/paths/create-computer-vision-solutions-azure-cognitive-services/?WT.mc_id=academic-77998-bethanycheum), [natural language processing](https://docs.microsoft.com/learn/paths/explore-natural-language-processing/?WT.mc_id=academic-77998-bethanycheum), **[Generative AI with Azure OpenAI Service](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/paths/develop-ai-solutions-azure-openai/?WT.mc_id=academic-77998-bethanycheum)** and others.
* Specific ML **Cloud Frameworks**, such as [Azure Machine Learning](https://azure.microsoft.com/services/machine-learning/?WT.mc_id=academic-77998-bethanycheum), [Microsoft Fabric](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/paths/get-started-fabric/?WT.mc_id=academic-77998-bethanycheum), or [Azure Databricks](https://docs.microsoft.com/learn/paths/data-engineer-azure-databricks?WT.mc_id=academic-77998-bethanycheum). Consider using [Build and operate machine learning solutions with Azure Machine Learning](https://docs.microsoft.com/learn/paths/build-ai-solutions-with-azure-ml-service/?WT.mc_id=academic-77998-bethanycheum) and [Build and Operate Machine Learning Solutions with Azure Databricks](https://docs.microsoft.com/learn/paths/build-operate-machine-learning-solutions-azure-databricks/?WT.mc_id=academic-77998-bethanycheum) learning paths.
* **Conversational AI** and **Chat Bots**. There is a separate [Create conversational AI solutions](https://docs.microsoft.com/learn/paths/create-conversational-ai-solutions/?WT.mc_id=academic-77998-bethanycheum) learning path, and you can also refer to [this blog post](https://soshnikov.com/azure/hello-bot-conversational-ai-on-microsoft-platform/) for more detail.
* **Deep Mathematics** behind deep learning. For this, we would recommend [Deep Learning](https://www.amazon.com/Deep-Learning-Adaptive-Computation-Machine/dp/0262035618) by Ian Goodfellow, Yoshua Bengio and Aaron Courville, which is also available online at [https://www.deeplearningbook.org/](https://www.deeplearningbook.org/).

For a gentle introduction to _AI in the Cloud_ topics you may consider taking the [Get started with artificial intelligence on Azure](https://docs.microsoft.com/learn/paths/get-started-with-artificial-intelligence-on-azure/?WT.mc_id=academic-77998-bethanycheum) Learning Path.

## Each lesson contains

* Pre-reading material
* Executable Jupyter Notebooks, which are often specific to the framework (**PyTorch** or **TensorFlow**). The executable notebook also contains a lot of theoretical material, so to understand the topic you need to go through at least one version of the notebook (either PyTorch or TensorFlow).
* **Labs** available for some topics, which give you an opportunity to try applying the material you have learned to a specific problem.
* Some sections contain links to [**MS Learn**](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/collections/7w28iy2xrqzdj0?WT.mc_id=academic-77998-bethanycheum) modules that cover related topics.

## Getting Started

### 🎯 New to AI? Start Here!

If you're completely new to AI and want quick, hands-on examples, check out our [**Beginner-Friendly Examples**](./examples/README.md)! These include:

- 🌟 **Hello AI World** - Your first AI program (pattern recognition)
- 🧠 **Simple Neural Network** - Build a neural network from scratch  
- 🖼️ **Image Classifier** - Classify images with detailed comments

If you have product feedback or questions whilst building visit our [Azure AI Foundry Developer Forum](https://aka.ms/foundry/forum)

## Quizzes 

> **A note about quizzes**: All quizzes are contained in the Quiz-app folder in etc\quiz-app, or [Online Here](https://ff-quizzes.netlify.app/) They are linked from within the lessons the quiz app can be run locally or deployed to Azure; follow the instruction in the `quiz-app` folder. They are gradually being localized.
