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....

I know this is intended for a broad audience, but I found that the assignments were too easy. Not that they are testing easy material, but that the answers are almost stated directly in the questions.

One of the best courses I have taken so far. The instructor has been very clear and precise throughout the course. The homework section is also designed in such a way that it helps the student learn .

This was a very clear introduction to neural networks providing both a helpful intuition of how they work as well as hands-on examples of how to implement a binary classification algorithm.

It's a great course. Andrew takes you by hand and shows the importance of each and every step. Then, you finish by understanding that NN is not a magic, it has to work because of each part.

It was a great overview for me. I wish I could give 4.5 stars because of the homework. I would have preferred a bit more challenging homework rather than easy and clean homework. Thank you.

Hi,

Just completed the course and liked it so much that I enrolled for next course. Concepts are nicely explained and programming exercise makes you understand the concept even more clearly.

Really enjoyed the course, gives foundational theory to neural networks and then generalises it in an intuitive way without complicating the topic with unnecessary derivations and concepts.

Another fantastic course offering by Andrew Ng. I very much enjoy his teaching style and the breakdown of assignment structures to progressively build helper modules into a larger function.

It's the best course to start with Deep Neural Network. Anyone with zero knowledge about python will definitely gain significant knowledge about programming and Fundamental Neural Network.

Fantastic course though it is difficult to say which was better, the great presentation or seeing how wonderful it is to program neural networks using Python and numpy. Just amazing stuff.

The background of the DL is explained very well and it is a nice introduction to high-level optimizations. It also contributes to coding practices behind the scene very well. Thanks a lot.

Thank you!

It was very exciting. I haven't been so involved in any process for a long time.

I have a similar inspiration when I typed my first BASIC code on "Elektronika MS 0202" at school.

It was a really well written/planned and interactive course.

The best part about is its lectures length they are small and provide you will ample amount of info in order to keep you engaged

The computation graph way of looking at the forward and backprop is such a good idea. I now have a better understanding of what Neural Nets are and their inner workings. Thank you, Andrew!

Very comprehensive and with accessive language, but without losing academic core. Andrew NG knows how to teach us complex knowledge in simple and understandable words and enough equations.

Learned basics of deep learning from the very low level which gives the power of imagination of how things work in deep learning.

looking forward to completing a full specialization course.
