Like always a great peak into the world of Deep Neural Networks by Andrew Ng. The lectures had as much math as it needed and they were not bombarding me with a lot of information but only with the really useful ones! The assignments were always leading me to solve the problems, maybe I would like them a little more difficult.

A good introduction to neural networks and some deep learning algorithms, It is just a nice kick start for the world of artificial intelligence, specifically deep learning. It will give you an overview, but bear in mind the road of learning is long and interestingly filled with application of deep learning to try on your own.

Excellent course that gets you coding right away and implementing the core algorithm in deep learning: Backpropagation. Ng is clear and concise throughout and gives plenty tips on how to code and avoid bugs. The programming notebooks are well constructing and easy for anyone looking to delve into the topic for the first time.

I loved the curriculum, it is in incremental approach.

But the clarification reading module is not in appropriate location, it is placed before the module and creating the confusion at the appropriate time, rather it can be the placed instance where clarification is needed, just like the optional quiz exam at the end of video

this is the best course I have been ever seen, who want to build their career in deep learning then this is perfect for it, but before u start this course u have good knowledge about machine learning, and for machine learning, u can start Mr. Andrew ng course then after u will enroll on this course this is my recommendation.

Extremely helpful review of the basics, rooted in mathematics, but not overly cumbersome. Very helpful for who want to understand deep learning from scratch. Very clear, and example coding exercises greatly improved my understanding of the importance of vectorization. The teaching techniques of professor Andrew NG is awesome

Even though I rate this course for five stars, I would like to express my concern about the vast amount of repetitions throughout the videos. Most of them could provide just the same information being about two times shorter. Apart from this, I am extremely grateful to Mr. Ng and his colleagues for sharing this great course.

A very nice ,deep and comprehensive introduction to Neural Networks and Deep Learning.The instructors are fantastic and the complex Backpropagation has really been presented in a very simple,concise and easy to digest way and the way Andrew Sir teaches it no more looks to be a mathematically complex Deep Learning algorithm.

The way Andrew covers all the concepts is, brilliant. It covers all the mathematical concepts behind an algorithm and explains them in great detail. The programming exercises give a good insight into the application. This course of the specialization is ideal for a beginner in this field . Can't wait to finish the next one .

This course perfectly explains the foundations of neural networks. You will understand the maths behind scary words like "backpropagation" in no time, and you will code everything by hand using python. This means that in latter courses when you use tensorflow, you will understand why you do what you do, which is wonderful :)

A simple and wonderful course. Goes through the basics of Neural Networks at the perfect pace. The assignments are well prepared and guide you through the implementations of your own NN models. For those who have an interest in Deep Learning and are familiar with Python, this course is perfect! Would definitely recommend it.

Best course if you want to break into deep learning! Concepts are explained well. Assignments have a lot of guidance, but are still challenging. Most other online courses are either too high-level (jumping straight into a heap of code) or too low-level (hardcore calculus derivations). Really enjoyed this one - very balanced!

I had some theoretical knowledge of neural networks and deep learning earlier. However, this course helped in understanding the basic concepts better. The vectorization part taught in lectures are specially helpful. Thanks to Andrew Sir and all the team involved in this course. Looking forward to CNN and RNN courses.

I feel this course as an elixir for those who want to learn Deep Learning from scratch. One suggestion to provide if other platforms like MATLAB could have been provided for this who are expert in MATLAB or any such platforms. It would make the course especially the programming assignments for flexible and student-friendly.

I've heard about Andrew Ng before even taking this course that he's a great lecturer, having taken this course I found that there's a massive truth to what I heard. I really like the way he took me through the toughest and complicated concepts of DL. He was amazing!!!. I'm gonna take his future courses with the same delight

I was very new to programming but still managed to complete this course because Andrew is the coolest professor out there. The assignments help you understand the practical bits and assist you with your own ideas too! I'd completely recommend, even if you're an absolute beginner but have a little exposure to linear algebra.

This course explain the theory behind the neural networks in an intuitive way along with practical implementation of NN without using deep learning libraries (in the first course). This is very important to get to know the NN operations in each and every layers before dive deep into the other more complex NNs architectures.

This course is very thorough. Andrew Ng has made the difficult concepts most accessible. The video material and the coding exercises are closely interlinked and it reinforces the concepts. The coding exercises are very practical. The interviews with the leaders in deep learning at the end of each week was most informative.

Amazing course to get started into Deep Learning. The course teaches you the core concepts of Neural Networks and makes you code it from scratch. Loved the way how simply such complex concepts are taught by Andrew Ng. Definitely recommend this course who want to know how neural networks works and not treat it as Black Box.
