Course: AI in Radar Signal Processing
Note: This is a review from roughly halfway through the course.
In the course "AI in Radar Signal Processing," Dr. Regev is able to take a complicated cutting edge topic, deliver the background concepts and mathematics quickly yet thoroughly, and then delve into real applications with example code. I work professionally in the automotive radar space and I know that there are many difficult problems still to solve because it's still a new burgeoning technology. The course helped refresh some of the basics, and gave me real applicable mathematical tools to help solve some of these difficult problems using artificial neural networks and other machine learning techniques. I would highly recommend this course for those looking to add some versatile tools to their toolbox if they are working with radar or other similar technologies.
