Hey there, future AI masterminds! Geoff here, ready to take your AI skills to the next level with some intermediate projects. If you’ve already dipped your toes into the world of AI and are looking to push your boundaries, you’re in the right place. Today, we’ll dive into some challenging and rewarding AI projects that will not only enhance your skills but also boost your confidence. Let’s get started!
Intermediate projects are designed to bridge the gap between beginner-level exercises and advanced AI challenges. They help you solidify your understanding, tackle more complex problems, and build a robust portfolio that showcases your growing expertise.
Chatbots are a staple in AI, offering practical applications in customer service, virtual assistants, and more. This project will help you understand natural language processing (NLP) and dialogue management.

# Note: This is a simplified example. In practice, you would need to preprocess the data thoroughly and train on a larger dataset.Enhance your NLP skills by building a sentiment analysis model using Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks. This project will deepen your understanding of recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and their applications.
