Level 2 Certification

Wolfram U offers numerous resources for learning about neural networks, and certifications provide opportunities to demonstrate your proficiency and expertise. Level 2 certification involves submitting an independent project that demonstrates expertise in using the Wolfram Language Neural Net Framework to solve a complex problem. A project notebook containing your Wolfram Language code is required. Submissions are assessed according to a grading rubric.

Level 2 Project

Browse the resources found in the Wolfram Neural Net Repository to find neural net models in an immediately computable form in addition to the ones listed here. These examples are representative of neural net models that would be good starting places for Level 2 certification projects. Refer to the grading rubric for specific requirements related to creating or modifying your network, training, testing and communicating your results.

Recommended Level 2 Certification Process

  • Familiarize yourself with the Wolfram Language neural network framework. A good place to start is the guide page, which links to many of the relevant functions as well as to related tech notes, workflow guides and more. The Wolfram Neural Networks Boot Camp provides a hands-on immersive training in the subject.
  • Use course practice problems and exercises to check your understanding.
  • Identify the neural network you would like to create or substantively modify and the question(s) it is intended to address.
  • Consult the grading rubric to ensure your project meets certification standards.
  • Submit your notebook detailing the creation or modification of your network as well as its application to your question(s) of choice.
  • Pay the $395 certification fee and submit your project notebook. (Education customers pay $195; students pay $95.) This certification fee is included with boot camp full registration.
  • Present your project during a sharing session (for unpublished or private content.)

Submitting Your Project

Once your project notebook is complete, pay the certification fee and follow instructions to upload your file(s). All projects are scored according to the grading rubric. A project score of 75 or greater will earn Level 2 certification in Wolfram Language programming. You will be notified about your certification status within three weeks of your submission. Successful applicants will receive a certificate suitable for printing and sharing, and every applicant receives project feedback that includes an explanation of their score. Applicants who receive scores under 75 may work to improve their projects and can apply again for Level 2 certification by submitting revised projects with the certification fee.
