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.

this course will help you identify and tune all of your hyperparameters. It also gives an introduction to tensorflow that will at least get you started.

This is a great course in the Deeplearning sequel. It requires a lot of effort to complete, but the knowledge that you gain is big.

Thank you Andrew Ng!

Very good course, like it. It gave me lot of understanding of what NN is and some background over the hyper params.

I would expect more sessions with TF

I think this course is the most import one in the specialization because it gathers a lot of practical tips and tricks to improve deep learning models.

This course taught me how to improve my models instead of just learning about deep learning. In fact, in some ways, this is the more important course.

very instructive. The only negative point, is that the introduction to Tensorflow is very light and quick. I hope to see more during the next classes

All the deep learning .ai was set up very organized. Future suggestions would be to make it more academically and look like a university-level course.

Once a legend said that AI is the new electricity and we all know who Nikola Tesla is ! It's always a pleasure of studying all these under Andrew Sir.
