Implementing Research Papers is the Fastest Way to Learn Artificial Intelligence
The Neuralnet Academy will save you dozens of hours of frustration in your AI education.
What is the Neuralnet Academy?
Streamlined Learning
Artificial intelligence is difficult, but it doesn't have to be confusing. We break down complicated topics into their core ideas to get you coding fast.
Complete Curriculum
Many other courses leave out key topics; not the Academy. Everything you need to go from beginner to expert is inside.
Learn Like the Experts
Top tier researchers aren't reading Medium articles for insights, and neither should you. In the Academy you will learn how to implement cutting edge research articles from premier research institutions like Deep Mind and OpenAI.
Interactive Lessons
Try your hand at the solution first, then see an expert code the solution. Complete with line by line explanations.
Framework Agnostic
We will show you how to code deep reinforcement learning algorithms in both PyTorch and Tensorflow 2. Both have a place in industry, and should have a place in your toolkit.
Slack Community
Build connections with other Academy students in the Slack channel. We're a group of researchers, post docs, industry experts and hobbyists helping each other learn.

Introduction to Reinforcement Learning
Under Construction!
1 - 2 hours | About 10 - 20 lessons
This course will cover a conceptual introduction to the core concepts of reinforcement learning. Students will learn enough to dive right into the more advanced courses. This will be a FREE course for website subscribers.
Actor Critic Methods
9 Hours 52 Minutes
76 Lessons
Topics include a brief introduction to reinforcement learning, policy gradient and actor critic methods, deep deterministic policy gradients (DDPG), twin delayed deep deterministic policy gradients (TD3), and soft actor critic (SAC). Algorithms are implemented using both the PyTorch and Tensorflow 2 frameworks.
Deep Q Learning
6 Hours 23 Minutes
47 Lessons
Topics include a comprehensive introduction to reinforcement learning and neural networks, deep Q learning (DQN), double deep Q learning (DQN), and dueling deep Q learning (D3QN). Algorithms are implemented using both the PyTorch and Tensorflow 2 frameworks.
Curiosity Based Learning
3 Hours 46 Minutes
25 Lessons
This is an intermediate level course that jumps straight into the heart of the topic. We cover asynchronous advantage actor critic methods (A3C) and the intrinsic curiosity module (ICM). These algorithms are implemented using the PyTorch framework
Advanced Replay Memory Strategies
4 Hours 58 Minutes
24 Lessons
This is an intermediate level course that covers hindsight experience replay memory, and prioritized experience replay. Students also learn to code their own custom environments.
Advanced Actor Critic Methods
2 Hours 40 Minutes
10 Lessons
This is an expert level course that begins with proximal policy optimization (PPO) in both continuous and discrete action spaces. Students also learn a multithreaded implementation in the Atari library.
Introduction to Natural Language Processing
3 Hours 13 Minutes
25 Lessons
This is a beginner level course that shows students how to implement the word2vec algorithm starting from first principles.
Writing Our Own Framework
6 Hours 46 Minutes
19 Lessons
In this course students will unify all the code from the preceding courses into a single framework, called ProtoRL. This framework is designed with rapid prototyping of research papers in mind, and will serve as the basis for future courses.
Multi Agent Reinforcement Learning
3 Hours 13 Minutes
19 Lessons
In the multi agent reinforcement learning course, we tackle co-operative and competitive behaviors in multi agent environments. This course utilizes PettingZoo and PyTorch for the MADDPG and MAPPO algorithms.
Advanced Deep Reinforcement Learning
3 Hours 3 Minutes
14 Lessons
This is the course to go from intermediate to advanced RL. Course is under construction, with the first module, Distributed Prioritized Experience Replay (APE-X), live. Students will implement Random Network Distillation (RND), Recurrent Distributed Prioritized Experience Replay (R2D2), and Never Give Up (NGU).
Artificial Intelligence Applications
1 Hours 46 Minutes
11 Lessons
Students will use large language models to deploy simple AI applications. Course is under construction, with the first module, Coding an AI Coding Assistant, live. Models will be deployed locally, with no need for subscriptions to web based LLM services.

About Phil.
In 2012 I received my PhD in experimental condensed matter physics from West Virginia University. Following that I was a dry etch process engineer for Intel Corporation, where I leveraged big data to make essential process improvements in a billion dollar state of the art facility After leaving Intel in 2015, I have been on a mission to educate the next generation of artificial intelligence engineers.
Frequently Asked Questions
No matter where you are in your journey, you will benefit from the Academy. The Deep Q Learning course assumes no knowledge of reinforcement learning and starts students out with the very basics. Advanced courses such as the course on Intrinsic Curiosity and Advanced Actor Critic Methods cover challenging topics for students with a strong foundation. Regardless of your level, the only way to master programming is by programming, so start putting code to editor.
