About the Course

In the second course of the Deep Learning Specialization, you will open the deep learning black box to understand the processes that drive performance and generate good results systematically. By the end, you will learn the best practices to train and develop test sets and analyze bias/variance for building deep learning applications; be able to use standard neural network techniques such as initialization, L2 and dropout regularization, hyperparameter tuning, batch normalization, and gradient checking; implement and apply a variety of optimization algorithms, such as mini-batch gradient descent, Momentum, RMSprop and Adam, and check for their convergence; and implement a neural network in TensorFlow. The Deep Learning Specialization is our 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 gain the knowledge and skills to apply machine learning to your work, level up your technical career, and take the definitive step in the world of AI....

very useful course, especially the last tensorflow assignment. the only reason i gave 4 stars is due to the lack of practice on batchnorm, which i believe is one of the most usefule techniques lately.

Yet another excellent course by Professor Ng! Really helped me gain a detailed understanding of optimization techniques such as RMSprop and Adam, as well as the inner workings of batch normalization.

Well explained the need of regularizations. Also python was best language to get assignments done.

Jupiter Notebook fails too offen! I had to close the window, start again, which is very annoying!

It's fun they assume you know human error rate or optimal Bayesian. It's very rare in real world.

I miss the end of video quizzes, but can't rate it lower than 4 because this course is excellent.

Learnt a lot of new things. Only complain i have frmo this course is the use of Tensorflow 1.x .

perhaps more practice of tensorflow is required. The tensorflow module also needs to be updated.

I felt Tensorflow coverage was fairly limited and more practice of Tensorflow would have helped

It is better if you can provide some proper documentation for the TensorFlow coding. (syntaxes)

It was a great course.

I hope we are going much "deeper" in deep learning in the next courses !

I think the material is quite basic, since it is an specialization, we could go a little deeper

week 3 was quiet tedious and a more explanation about tenser flow would have been more useful.

Programming assignments are too easy, and don't help to grasp and think through the material.

Some more details & programming exercises about batch normalization could have been provided.
