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....

excellently explained broadcastings and how to write a first neural network from scratch, Andrew ng has the best teaching skills, if you can do the programming exercises yourself you are on the right track. do not ignore programming assignments even the optional ones

I applied for this course under financial aid and reason that i chose coursera over other platforms that this platform provides in depth knowledge of thins instead of just coding. Prof. ng is so good and cover things which will help understand things . great learning

A very thorough introduction to the field of Deep Learning. While there are some teething issues regarding jupyter files stalling, the course as a whole was a deeply satisfying intro to the subject and has convinced me to continue with the rest of the specialization.

Fun projects where you implement basic neural networks (that can be scaled "deep") from scratch using numpy. Touches on enough of the math so you get a feel for it, but it's not overwhelming. You only really have to know how to implement (provided) equations in code.

Another masterpiece from Andrew Ng. I am a big fan of his teaching and clear communication of thoughts and concepts. I come from engineering background and so having the exercises and algorithms implemented in python is a big plus.

Thanks for making this available :)

Excellent course, very well paced, structured, and explained. Exercises are very helpful. The course accommodates students with at least a basic level of Python programming. I think some calculus knowledge is extremely helpful (I'm a mathematician) but non-essential.

This is the best deep learning course I've ever had. Andrew Ng explains the theory behind deep learning in a easily understandable way, even for someone who doesn't have good mathematical background. The programming assignment also helped me to understand the course.

This course needs some basics, but one who has that will get clear understanding of all the buzz words.

Andrew Ng has explained every concept so clearly, amazing skill he has to transform things so that they can be explained in such an easy manner.

Thank you Andrew Ng.

A few typos in the week 4 notebooks. Especially in the final homework, it should be 4-Layer NN instead 5, which is a severe typo and can be very misleading.

Other than that, this course is awesome. This is way better than UFLDL tutorial and I really enjoy this course.

This course is great.I started touching machine learning six months ago.So I already have some foundation. It is relatively easy for me to study this course.More importantly, Andrew Ng's course is very detailed, so I have a better grasp of the principles and methods.

The Exercises were over simplified , lacked the hands on practice of coding and felt spoon fed , as students of neural network , a bit more teaching on the libraries used and structuring the code would have been helpful for students to start programming on their own

Prof. Andrew explains all the concepts in a very simple manner, which I think is a great quality. This is what connects you to your learners very well and induces self learning as well! Great job in designing the assignments, gradually building in complexity level!!

Wonderful course! Great fundamental introduction to deep learning. I have taken master's level courses and I thought this was thorough. In the cases where some details were mentioned, but not explained, the forum was full of vibrant, eager, students who dove deeper.

From theory to practice, it's very important to finish the tasks after each class.

If only to know it is not enough but to put it in practical;If only to wish it is not enough but to turn it true.

Sincerely thanks for all the members of Ng's Team! Come on! : )

This is an excellent course from Andrew. I have already taken courses from pro Hinton and some other courses at different platforms, but the way Andrew explains the key concepts very nicely and it has something to learn for everyone who wants to learn deep learning.

It was wonderful, the concepts were very intuitively explained. However I personally felt that the assignments were a little easy, given that the answer was only a step or two away from what was already coded. The nuances of the coding was left for us to understand.
