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....

Extremely educational with great examples. Helpful to know Python beforehand or the syntax will become a time sync, and understanding the mathematics as going through the class makes it a decent pace.

After copleting the course I found all conceptual knowlegde for visualising and implementing the algorithm in my work. Before this course I was not using the full potential of the advanced algorithm

I am impressed by the instructors of how they are capable of explaining things on simple terms. I knew about this algorithms explained here but I have learned new stuff that completes my understanding of them and can help me to deploy them when they do not work as expected.

The material presented was clear and easy to understand, the algorithms are explained by Dr. Ng in a manner that "you can visualize..." the logic. The programming part is done totally, you have just to follow the code.

In summary, it was a great learning experience. Thanks

Not one of the best but, actually THE BEST course one can have on machine learning to get both, theory and hands on experience for boosting their skills in this domain. crystal clear explanation with every concept being covered, hat's off to our Instructor : Andrew Ng

I think the content is great as well as the teaching method. I think that anyone, with enough time can get to understand everything. Besides, experienced ones can also learn a lot from this course. This is a must-to-do course to get into the world of Machine Learning

Understanding advanced learning algorithms never felt this convenient thanks to Dr.Andrew's. The content of the second course of this specialisation enabled me to gain a deeper intuition of how neural networks and decision trees work in the field of machine learning.

it was very good. especially for beginners who want to start their career in deep learning engineer it is the best one. anyone can understand the course if they have some prior knowledge in mathematics like derivatives, vectors and some machine learning algorithms.

It is a good course in terms of teaching concepts, but in terms of programming, the assignment expectations at the end of each week are somewhat inconsistent with the topics taught. The course teaches concepts well, but assignments don't align with weekly topics.

Excellent presentation of concepts and guidance on best practices. The instructor provides the right motivation for the concepts and the labs really highlight the finer nuances of programming these concepts. The material on ethics in AI was very much appreciated

best of the 3 courses in the specialisation but still let down a bit by the programming assignments. The original Machine learning course was more challenging when it came to graded assignments, this one less show with the hints not being hints but full answers.

Liked the explanations, steady pace and examples, clearly painstakingly learned places where students learn slower are addressed. Rather few labs in this one, but seem to cover main basics. Learned quite a bit, although taking as a refresher. Good update! Thans!

My favorite part was how beautifully the concepts from the first class, and more generally linear learning algorithms, are connected to neural networks. The mentors are so helpful, you feel like you have a private tutor teaching you advanced skills. Amazing!

I really enjoyed the course. Andrew is a great teacher. The examples were well chosen and it was not too complicated to follow. Good to take a look behind the scenes of what the state-of-the-art libraries are doing.

Also +1 on the the dad jokes at the end ;-)

When i started the Machine learning journey, i always had a doubt on this neural networks on how all this works, whether it is worth it to learn. After this fantastic course by Andrew, I am feeling more positive and motivated. Thank you Andrew and Coursera

Another excellent learning materials on neural networks, decision trees, and model performance evaluation by Andrew Ng and his team. Andrew has a way of teaching difficult concepts for us to understand, especially the machine learning math intuitions.

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

An excellent course that gives me the foundational and most important concepts on deep learning, this course shows me that the deep learning isn't a black box that only a few people understand, i can understand and i can innovate in this field also.

This course allowed you to acquire robust knowledge about neural networks, their metrics and qualitative analyses. Furthermore, it was possible to learn about other alternative learning algorithms such as decision trees, random forests and XGboost.

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
