I really liked the course. It was well explained and very interactive. I would like to continue the rest of the courses in the course if you allow me. Thank you. The course has been of great use to me

I just can say that it was an awesome course. The instructors as well as the contents were clear, easy to understand and everything with a focus on how to take the theory and apply it with TensorFlow.

This course is good, and is fast paced.Mr Mororney is an excellent instructor.
The course is real good and basically focuses on CNN and ANN. The only shortcoming was that they didn't really teach 'pure' tensorflow,this course is really about Keras and not tensorflow. We are taught how to use Keras with tensorflow as backend .
They should have taught basics of tensorflow such as place holders and what are tensors!.
Nevertheless, it's a good course.

This is a great introductory course which focuses on implementing basic Keras models. The only gripe I have with this course is the programming assignments. I experienced many, many issues while trying to submit the assignments even with proposed solutions from the discussion board. This isn't a show-stopper; just a little frustrating. Otherwise, I highly recommend this course to anyone getting started withTensorFlow & Keras model building.

I've been an machine learning engineer for 2 years, taking this course to push myself to learn new TF2 features. I don't think there's focus on the new distributed training feature in TF2, codes are still TF1.x.
I think the last quiz had some really unclear questions, could be improved.
Other than that, I love the hands-on practice part. Wish we explain more on why model performance is so brittle in the horse vs human classification example.

Although course content seems to be nice but a regular update with the current tensorflow version needs to be done. Also, In course content there are topics listed just to tell that in next section what you will study(even provided 10 mins for that) and that is a complete waste and poorly put in the content section-this needs to be fixed.
On a positive node, this course is very useful to start and I recommended this to beginners.

Great review of TF and the newer tf.keras API in addition to practical advice on deep learning projects. Lawerence has been a pretty good instructor, clear and to the point, with some good exercises. For beginners, though the course skims over some of the basics - although these are covered in Andrew Ng's Deep Learning specialization, which I took some years ago. All in all, a handy course to get cracking on TF and Keras again!

I enjoyed the practical approach and the clear explanations on what the DNN with convolutions are doing. Since this is an introductory class, i understand the reason why it does not go too deep into the science behind. The only observation is that the material organization in some sections is a little confusing, some sections is just a paragraph that could have just been an slide in the previous video. Thank You!

Brilliant Course for getting started with Tensorflow. The only thing I would like the instructor to include are explanation for non -TF stuff, like matplotlib codes. It would really help develop additional skills apart from making TF models. Going online to find the working of each command in a different library like matplotlib really broke my flow and my focus . So, that would be a welcome addition!

I really liked that it was very hands-on and made it very quick and easy to get up to speed on using TensorFlow for Machine Learning. That said, there was a lot less content that I expected (I finished the '4-week' course in about 1.5 days), and I was a bit disappointed that the focus was exclusively on image classification. A little variety in terms of the problems being solved would've been nice.

The course is targeted for an audience with a basic knowledge of the machine learning techniques. With that in mind, it delivers a comprehensive first look at the calibre of the TensorFlow framework. For the more advanced practitioners the programming exercises and the quiz might seem a bit on the easier side. Overall it is a great place to start for those who wish to begin with TensorFlow. Kudos!

Reasonably well put together but lacking depth.
It feels more like an intro rather than something for professionals. I'd like to see more about running batches for explorations and deriving the uncertainty of predictions as they get further away from the training data.
A more detailed look into why you choose layers with drawbacks and when straight up regression and stats would be a better option.

The contents and instructor is excellent. Unfortunately one is faced with mainly two downfalls. Fist, there always seems to be some sort of submission problem which usually involves some kind of "hacking" from the user's part to make it work. Secondly, it's very hard to get answers to most doubts since the activity in the discussion Forums is very little, specially from instructor-level sources.

Overall a very good course (with knowledge from the deep learning specialization) to get a deeper knowledge in tensorflow. But sometimes in the exercises you feel a little left alone, because of missing information (example Week 4, which folder should you use, what's the resolution of the images, you can find out but that requiered (for me I had to downloaded the files and check what i needed).

Great course giving a very basic overview of some features of Tensor Flow. The assignments could be implemented a little bit better, there were a lot of version issues relating to tensor flow.
Also, the course would benefit from moderation of the discussion forums. Overall very happy with my experience however and would recommend for anyone looking to get started in machine learning.

The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because I think some concepts could be explained in more details, such as batch_size and number of filters. Maybe that will be covered in the next courses in this specialization, and if that turns out to be the case, I'll change the rating to 5 stars. Generally, excellent teachers and able to explain complex topics in a simple manner.

The course is quite light even for introductory one. At the same time, I enjoyed examples of NN implementations in colab and elaboration on how the code works. The most interesting for me personaly were hints and techics helping to develop a better understending on how the NN are builing its knowlarge on input data. I look forward to checking other courses of specialization out.

Through this course i learned what is TensorFlow?, how to process a image as input to the code and how classify the images. I get knowledge about the convolution layers, maxpooling, optimizers, metrics, dense layers, model training and testing etc.,, Personally i suggest this course, who are all interest to learn ML or TensorFlow this course will helps you to get a knowledge.

Excellent content with comprehensive explanation for each line of code, but the submission process is really suffering. (Long submission time and numerous unknown errors, but they can be solved by solutions provided by the student forum ) In the Jupyter notebook, there are some syntax errors (like inconsistent namings) which require manual fixes, needs more improvement.

The course is good, you learn a lot, and I love the passion of the instructors. That said, I wish they'd taken some time (10-20 minutes) to explore/explain some basic ML concepts before delving right into the code at the start. Other than that, its good, and the assignments feel useful to complete, and what you learn is definitely interesting and inspiring. Good job!

That course was superb, but there were much references to other content, ik that was important but just as a suggestion I would say you can put this specialization in 5 courses or add 1 Week in each but please teach that all, by the way 4 stars were just to grab your attention as review otherwise I literally loved the content thank you Mr. Laurence and Mr, Andrew

Should probably spend more time on lectures. They're a little too short, and almost exclusively just designed to discuss snippets of code that help you solve the immediate assignment. I realize that this is a hands-on course, but intuition provided could have been much better. If you want to know how that's done, refer to 3Blue1Brown's series on Neural Networks!

very structured from the beginning, the time required to complete this course is calculated very carefully so even if you're a beginner with deep learning you'll be complete the course on time. there are a lot of useful resource links as well which reduces the learning effort. i really liked this course and it made me more confident to pursue the specialization.

The course topics were well conversed by Lawrence. But I find it difficult to process the programming assignment, not because its difficult for me, I completed what I am supposed to do and got desired output on it but the submission and grading mechanism is a bit faulty and misleading. The Discussion Forums also got not much mentors or fellow students helping

Really nice course for basic Tensorflow, It will be much better if a real world example is explained with every aspect of machine learning. Like data aquisition, sufficiency, labelling, model building, evaluation and deployment. I am not saying to show the steps how to do it, but some pointers will be nice. Final project should at least include everything.

A really simple and intuitive approach to Neural Networks in TensorFlow. Smart and simple examples to experiment by yourself how to build image classification with a few lines of code in python. For me was useful to recap what I already studied in DeepLearning.ai courses. This course was pretty good to do some practical exercises and an overall recap.

The Course has a good starter pack of essential topics. Loved the course as it had so much to teach me, and added to that, Dr Moroney made the concepts truly clear and easy to understand. The only part where I felt that the course could be better were the assignments. The difficulty could have been higher to make it more challenging to the students.
