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 good course to give you deep insight about how to enhance your algorithm and neural network and improve its accuracy. Also teaches you Tensorflow. Highly recommend especially after the 1st course

I enjoyed it, it is really helpful, id like to have the oportunity to implement all these deeply in a real example.

the only thing i didn't have completely clear is the barch norm, it is so confuse

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

This course has helped me understand the core concepts of Neural Networks. However, the assignments are very much easy and hints pretty much give away the codes.

Pretty decent intro, could have had more on programming in Tensorflow, so that TensorFlow functions for every concept become a part of my habit as a programmer.

Very well delivered. A few mistakes in the notes and programming exercises, but identifying those just makes you think through the problems more. Learned a lot.

At first I thought some talks are too fundamental, but it turns out those small details and even code convention help to accelerate my thoughts during research.
