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.

The discussion forum was helpful!. And hope that more exercises on tensorflow will be followed in upcoming courses. Because the introduction in the assignment was rather short.

This is everything I am looking for. Step by step basic AI. I have already taken a couple other AI specializations but I wanted to step back and really understand the basics.

Andrew has taught this course to perfection, it gave me all basics to tune parameters and also th how regularization is used, how normalization helps etc.

Very awesome course...

Great course, you are methodically guided through the main techniques and algorithms to make your model better. Plus, you get hands-on experience with the Tensorflow framework.

I think Andrew has nailed engagement and clearly keeping the difficulty of the course in the "zone of proximal development" for the students.

Great course, and highly engaging.

There could have been more videos/explanation on tensorflow functions (rather than I guess expecting us to search it online) but other than that, everything was really clear!
