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 useful course, especially the last tensorflow assignment. the only reason i gave 4 stars is due to the lack of practice on batchnorm, which i believe is one of the most usefule techniques lately.

Yet another excellent course by Professor Ng! Really helped me gain a detailed understanding of optimization techniques such as RMSprop and Adam, as well as the inner workings of batch normalization.

Enjoyed the course. Actually, I learned a lot on regularization and optimization and how it is applied. Of course, the introduction to Tensorflow is priceless.

Excellent course. There are a few errors in the final assignment, which have been called out in the chat box but not resolved yet. I think this should be done.

Great course. To the point and lucid explanations. Would have liked a bit more elaboration on Tensorflow even though we can search the documentation ourselves.

What I love about Mr. Ngs's way of instructing is that he makes you understand topics quite complex such as Deep Learning so easy to understand and implement.

it was a very fruitful course but I think you should add notes at the end of each video to sum up the most important information covered in the video

thank you

Started with some basic tensors... so that's good. However I like how Andrew explains the effect of each hyper-parameter on the models output. Happy learning!

I think the tensor flow part could have gone smoother. I don't feel like I can apply tensor flow from scratch even though I passed the course with top marks.
