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.

Excellent. Tensorflow is a little tricky and there was a typo in the comments that caused some problems getting the answers to match but overall very good course.

A quick but useful overview on how to tune a deep learning model to combat various problems, mostly variance. A bonus is a short tutorial at the end on TensorFlow.

Great course. Homework is a bit too easy, though.

Wish we have some more classes covering topics like how to handle huge data sets (like using GPU computing, etc.)

I've done courses with similar content but no other teacher could explain it like Andre Ng. It is really a course you must do if you've completed the intro course

Great course; nobody provides intuition like Professor Ng, and the homework is easy but also provide a good practice set of references we can always come back to.

Perfect illustration as stated in the Title. You also get to learn and play with Tensorflow, which is one of the best programming frameworks to shorten the codes.

Always in favour of Dr. Andrew Ng's course. But, it would be good to improve the difficulty of programming exercise though it is quite fun and really informative
