About the Course

In the second course of the Machine Learning Specialization, you will: • Build and train a neural network with TensorFlow to perform multi-class classification • Apply best practices for machine learning development so that your models generalize to data and tasks in the real world • Build and use decision trees and tree ensemble methods, including random forests and boosted trees The Machine Learning Specialization is a foundational online program created in collaboration between DeepLearning.AI and Stanford Online. In this beginner-friendly program, you will learn the fundamentals of machine learning and how to use these techniques to build real-world AI applications. This Specialization is taught by Andrew Ng, an AI visionary who has led critical research at Stanford University and groundbreaking work at Google Brain, Baidu, and Landing.AI to advance the AI field. This 3-course Specialization is an updated and expanded version of Andrew’s pioneering Machine Learning course, rated 4.9 out of 5 and taken by over 4.8 million learners since it launched in 2012. It provides a broad introduction to modern machine learning, including supervised learning (multiple linear regression, logistic regression, neural networks, and decision trees), unsupervised learning (clustering, dimensionality reduction, recommender systems), and some of the best practices used in Silicon Valley for artificial intelligence and machine learning innovation (evaluating and tuning models, taking a data-centric approach to improving performance, and more.) By the end of this Specialization, you will have mastered key theoretical concepts and gained the practical know-how to quickly and powerfully apply machine learning to challenging real-world problems. If you’re looking to break into AI or build a career in machine learning, the new Machine Learning Specialization is the best place to start....

Beginner level course, explained simple concepts on neural network specifically Multi-Layer Perceptron & Decision Tree, nothing advanced topics covered. But the explanation is very very good.

The theory and concepts were explained really well. I however believe that if we could have video sessions for labs as well, it would have been better. Overall it was an amazing experience and I got to learn a lot of core concepts of Machine Learning

It would be better if the notebook environment of the labs could be provided for us to download or for reference, as many of the output graphs could not shown on our jupyter notebook after we downloaded them due to missing of certain packages.

Great pedagogical skills. Andrew makes sure to keep the pace sustained, but each notion is clearly explained. I'm complementing my learning with some competitions on Kaggle to make sure I put into practice some of my newly acquired skills.

The content of the course is pretty good and interesting for someone with zero or basic knowledge in the field. Some basic level of programming is required but not that much. You get more from this course if you follow the specialization

It was an excellent course to learn while completing the specialisation. But I need some statistical concepts added, such as entropy and loss difference. Please add their note for a better understanding of the different concepts.

Very good course for getting an intuition of Neural Networks. Not so helpful for practical applications of it.

The explanations are so on point it will give you great idea of working and you can by yourself master its applications

All the concepts were simply and clearly explained, and the labs ensured that I understood everything in practice. Went from zero knowledge to being able to build my own machine learning programs win a matter of weeks. Excellent.

this course gave me a good prospect toward machine learning and Neural Networks. But I believe it is not enough and exercises could be more and could be categorized in different levels so the learner could challenge themselves.

It's a great introduction to advanced learning algorithms, that takes the same concepts used in the first course and expands them greatly. Would be better if they added some more practice labs, but the course is great as it is
