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 highly appreciated the interviews at the end of some weeks. I am currently trying to transition from a research background in Systems/Computational Biology to work professionally in deep learning :)

Very good course to start Deep learning. But you need to have the basic idea first. I would suggest to do the Stanford Andrew Ng Machine Learning course first and then take this specialization courses

Amazing course, well explained, concrete exercises to practice, although you need some previous experience in machine learning. Professor's Andrew Ng Machine learning course is a good start.

Very comprehensive. There were a lot of repetitions but all of them were required because it is a bit tricky to get used to the notations and the concepts. Once again, well done Prof Andrew.

Very good for getting the basics of forward and back-propagation correct.Provides a very clear understanding of these concepts.The grader's feedback for wrong outputs could be better though.

Great introductory course to Deep Learning. Definitely helps to be familiar with the materials covered in the Machine Learning course.

This course highly encourages you to take the next ones.

I love this course, because I learnt how to build neural network. The backward propagation derivatives are not easy to understand, but I figure them out by watching the videos several times.

Course materials are top-notch. But last week's assignments were a bit hard even for an intermediate Python programmer like me. Can't wait to complete all the courses in the specialization.

This is the basic understanding of Neural Network intuition. This is the Foundation that everyone should know about. Very informative content apart from that explanation is very attractive.

Really crisp and well-organized training course and provides lots of help/aid for the math and python involved in it too. Thanking all the contributors, managers and founder Prof. Andrew Ng

Very indepth course where it covers the math behind deep learning so you actually know how to make your own custom model without being dependent on generic models available on the internet.

Fantastic! Really great follow up to the original machine learning course. Programming exercises are maybe a bit too hand-holdy, but still manage to illustrate the core message really well.

it was very informative session , it started with basics and has gradually moved to higher concept . Examples have clarified all doubts, I want to be part of more courses in future as well.

I liked it so much. It was not easy in some labs, but remember, you just need some kind of intuition about math and programming and then it will be earier and easier. Thanks to all authors!

Great when (as in my case) you have a bit of a programming and maths background. Andrew pretty much answers most questions you'd have in mind while learning, and reassures us along the way.

A really in-depth introduction and yet not so confusing even for beginners, which is extremely rare in such a complicated subject. I am looking forward to complete the full course as well.

Great course. Includes all the information to begin generating custom deep learning models and running them. It was a blast to discover what's going on under the hood. Five stars from me...

Amazing teaching method ! it stars from the hardest concepts and if you persevere only for 2 weeks, the later notions will be a piece of cake for you. just remember to trust the instructor!

This course was special to me as I had some theortical knowledge about working of NN and Now I have some hands on knowledge of DL NN especially, the connection from simple NN to complex DNN
