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.

Very insightful course on improving deep learning models. Just in the course details the level of course should be intermediate rather than beginner level.

Very well organized. The right balance between theory and practice with good hands-on examples you can exercise without boring details of language syntax...

I like the idea of introducing framework like Tensorflow. But Week 1 and Week 3 lectures are too long, maybe separating them into different weeks is better?

More details about deep learning. This gave a more thourrouhly understading of the deep neural network and how to deal with the details i met when using it.

Buen curso, me gusto mucho ya que aprendi muchas cosas que no conocía sobre regularización y seseo de parámetros. Ademas muy buena introducción a tensorflow

Again loved the course structure, Andrew NG - you are a rock star. Take a bow, thanks a lot.

I would love to have one more extra week on tensorflow/keras.

Nice.

There are some magic functions in TensorFlow which I could fully follow during the programming assignment. Will do some self exploration.

Thanks a lot
