About the Course

In the first course of the Deep Learning Specialization, you will study the foundational concept of neural networks and deep learning. By the end, you will be familiar with the significant technological trends driving the rise of deep learning; build, train, and apply fully connected deep neural networks; implement efficient (vectorized) neural networks; identify key parameters in a neural network’s architecture; and apply deep learning to your own applications. 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....

Fantastic introduction to deep NNs starting from the shallow case of logistic regression and generalizing across multiple layers. The material is very well structured and Dr. Ng is an amazing teacher.

i really like that course , it is totally different from what i got in the university, lot of details and lot of assignment and that is the best part , even i thought sometimes i'm totally lost but the instructor is handling it in the next video

Really insightful course. As a data science practitioner, getting back to the roots of the linear algebra and calculus was scary at first, but Andrew Ng's explanation of it all makes it so much easier! Must recommend for beginners/intermediates.

Excellent video lectures. The assignments were a little too hand-held for me, but that is probably best for true beginners. Though a lot of the course's content was review to me, it solidified my understanding and intuition behind deep learning.

This was my first neural networks and deep learning course and I really enjoyed it. Although it was sometimes hard to follow during the lectures, the assignments always helped clarifying my problems. I'm excited to continue with the next course!

Just Outstanding. Starting from basics and guiding through the tough calculations, and giving a very good insight of the neural networks , this is truly an important course to clear the basics and mathematical calculations of the neural networks

Amazing! I finally learnt what I've been trying to learn in campus for the last 5 years. Simply incredible! Andrew Ng's way of explaining the workings of a Neural Net is genius. Listening to the guest speakers was also very valuable. Loved this!

This is really what I needed. Beginners course for techies. Not too shallow for dummies, but also not too advanced for AI professionals. I would advise taking this course for anyone who starts seriously working on the Deep Learning technologies.

Really enjoyed this course! I took an AI class for my undergrad and it was very similar to this. Enjoy knowing that coursera offers classes similar to what a student would take at a college level!I do wish there was a book instead of videos.....

Very curated and well prepared awesome course. It drives you in having 'hand-on' experience and real instruments to build your deep neural network providing intuition on mathematics behind without requiring to have a in depth calculus knowledge.

I had no experice of Neural Networks and python programming. I only have some experience in C++ and MATLAB programming. After this course, I understand the basic idea of NN and fiinish all the coursework aid by the guilding lines. Learned a lot!

Very grateful. Learnt the fundamentals about neural nets and deep nets. Was glad Andrew explained the nomenclature as well, why deep and neural nets are called so. The assignments were very helpful in driving the lecture points home. Thank you!

love this course, big fans of Andrew.

The structure of this course is absolutely clear and the reviews of each week are very intuitive.

And the programming assignments are even more intuitive!

look forward to enroll the next course of deeplearning!

Great course. Andrew's lectures are great, and homework is very applied. However, I was a bit frustrated with how structured the homework is. I wanted to prove I could implement independently (although I supposed I could go try and do that now.)

it was really helpful for me to learn about basic neural networks and what is logistic regression and how to implement them or implement networks with deep layers. I'm very grateful to Mr. Andrew NG and his assistants for their incredible work.

Great course. I think some more details about how to handle cache during back propagation could be added, here most of the students have felt uncomfortable. I thank coursera team, Mr Andrew and his team to make such a wonderful course.

Thank You

This is place is one stop for all the Neural Network you would like to learn. I have gone through enough videos online but nothing is better than this course. Prof. Andrew is the best in his way of explaining the concepts in a programmatic way.

The course started from scratch that is from single layer network followed by two layer network and finally deep neural network.so, by the end of specialization I have successfully learned to implement neural network to classification problems

Pleasantly and clearly presented by the instructor. Appropriately repetitive for those of us who have to re-find aged matrix skills. The notebook assignments are an excellent introduction to the relationship between concept and real processes.

Very good class because the Prof, Andrew 's pronunciation is good for me and so With the digital note, it make our study easier and the equation and the mathmatical thing is also useful. and I've never seen things like this class. I'm satisfied

It is a great course which covers fundamentals. Many hints are given to the assignments so students can finish the assignments as long as spending time understanding the materials. The amount of work is right for people who have full time jobs.

A very strong building block for the one who wanna know Neural Network seriously!!

not just plug and play stuff. i wonder how Prof Ng present complex thing seem easily for everyone all you want just basic Machine Learning and High School Math!!!

For each for the lab exercise linking to the relevant Python pages would have helped. For example basic Python operations (e.g. Arrays, Dictionary, tuples), the info on excellent numpy and pandas would have been helpful to beginners in Python.
