About the Course

In the fifth course of the Deep Learning Specialization, you will become familiar with sequence models and their exciting applications such as speech recognition, music synthesis, chatbots, machine translation, natural language processing (NLP), and more. By the end, you will be able to build and train Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) and commonly-used variants such as GRUs and LSTMs; apply RNNs to Character-level Language Modeling; gain experience with natural language processing and Word Embeddings; and use HuggingFace tokenizers and transformer models to solve different NLP tasks such as NER and Question Answering. The Deep Learning Specialization is a foundational program that will help you understand the capabilities, challenges, and consequences of deep learning and prepare you to participate in the development of leading-edge AI technology. It provides a pathway for you to take the definitive step in the world of AI by helping you gain the knowledge and skills to level up your career....

The lectures covers lots of SOTA deep learning algorithms and the lectures are well-designed and easy to understand. The programming assignment is really good to enhance the understanding of lectures.

I was really happy because I could learn deep learning from Andrew Ng.

The lectures were fantastic and amazing.

I was able to catch really important concepts of sequence models.

Thanks a lot!

Feels again like authors tried to put everything into just a couple of weeks, thus the course turned out to be messy with lots of details hidden. Even though there was a lot to learn, I am still not sure if I understand correctly how to build a simple sequence model.

Really good to understand the basics, however, it doesn't use the latest TF2 and the exercises are either trivial because too much pre-worked, or too hard because it doesn't give the information required to succeed.

This course really needs to be updated.

Programming assignment instructions are not well written (clear), and as a result it is easy to get stuck on something of little relevance to deep learning. Also, I would suggest that you make the lecture notes in written format available.

Assigments are pretty bad. I think in CNN and in RNN we should focus more on fundementals and build everything in numpy. RNN course isnt for building intuintion(deep knowledge) you just scratch surface.

The lectures cover the basic design of the models but don't help teaching you how to actually use them. I learned more by reading blogs to get the programming assignments to work then this course.

Lectures/Videos were excellent, the assignments were very poor (loads of errors in the code not corrected over 7 months since the course went live)

The course videos were very lengthy and difficult to follow. Many topics discussed in course video were not part of programming assignment

Good introduction to the concepts. Really poor quality videos and exercises. Very frustrating when working on the assignments.

The videos were very helpful but the programming assignments were way too easy for this certificate to be worth much.

Good lectures. Programming assignments are useless fill-in-the-blank exercises, you don't really learn much from them.

5 stars for lecture videos. -1 star for the terrible transformer programming assignment which is simply frustrating.

The programming assignments really are like pulling teeth. There's not really enough guidance leading up to them.

The course videos and the programming assignments were lacking. And there was no support in the forums.
