About the Course

In the first course of the Deep Learning Specialization, you will study the foundational concept of neural networks and deep learning. By the end, you will be familiar with the significant technological trends driving the rise of deep learning; build, train, and apply fully connected deep neural networks; implement efficient (vectorized) neural networks; identify key parameters in a neural network’s architecture; and apply deep learning to your own applications. 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....

Fantastic introduction to deep NNs starting from the shallow case of logistic regression and generalizing across multiple layers. The material is very well structured and Dr. Ng is an amazing teacher.

Hii, I think this course give us a view how to use a neural network also more importantly by using some libraries rather than tensorflow or keras.So, it makes the concept very much clear.No doubt, it is very much nice and interesting and eassy course.

This course is really helpful to understand the underlining structures and intuitions of neural networks.

It would be great if Andrew can also provide lecture notes after each week's content (the same one as he provided in the Machine Learning course)!

Best beginner's course on neural networks ever, taught by one of the greatest men in this field, divided into small, understandable lectures, challenging notebooks with ample support materials and great sets of quizzes. Couldn't ask for anything more.

The course is good for beginners and experienced learners. It is not easy to complete the assignment and quiz as if we understand the concepts mathematically, i.e., formulae. It's good to update the refresh the knowledge for the experienced learners.

Great course by Prof Ng. I had taken his Machine Learning course a few years ago, so expected high standards of content and assignment preparation - I was not disappointed. Staff is very responsive and helpful in forums as well. I highly recommend it.

This course is awesome. It helped me in understanding neural network from scratch with mathematical intuitions. The assignments were added advantage of this course. They helped me in learning python implementation of various neural network algorithms.

Completing machine learning course prior to this course will be a good support to understand the concepts of this course. Programming assignments are structured with a good guidance and covering all the steps of building a neural network from scratch.

This is as good as it gets. I never thought this could be so easy to understand and implement. A courses true merit is in taking the complexity of the course and still achieving the desired results. This course does exactly that. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND.

Explicitly explain what is neural network and deep learning. Integrate mathematics and programming very well. You get more comprehensive understanding if you are comfortable with basic algebra and matrix calculation and have some experience in Python.

The course provided a full filling learning experience. I learnt a lot thanks to the concise and properly segmented video lectures with immediate hands-on practice. I am really really thankful to Coursera and deeplearning.ai for providing this course!

This course gives me a rough sketch of the neural network from the basic theoretical level. I believe that after the next four courses will make me more proficient in the use of neural networks, including advanced methods such as pooling layer in CNN.

I really enjoyed Andrew'Ng lessons, it is not extremely fast (especially on calculus) but very quickly you find yourself handling relatively non obvious matters like the n layer deep neuron networks in a very clean implementation, I really appreciated

As usual, the way the course is presented is astonishing. But, before attempting this course, you should first familiarize yourself with fundamentals of Python (by University of Michigan), and Machine Learning (by Professor Ng, Stanford University).

Very informative and thorough go through for the entire concepts. Sir Andrew, also keeps on informing about the market trends for choosing an option over another and why that option is possibly better. Really liked it and highly recommendable. Thanks.

Simply fascinated by the way Math/Calculus works. Even after solving derivatives by hand and implementing the logic in python, still, sometimes I have to mentally pinch myself to make sure that I am living in the reality. Great Job Deep Learning team!

Inspiring course. It is somehow a condensed version of the Machine Learning course by Andrew Ng with Python/Numpy as state-of-the-art tools. Hope that the following courses in this DL specialisation keeps on with the pace and TensorFlow gets its part.

I think this is a great next step from the original course. There is some overlap, but there was enough new for me to make it well worth the time and money. I love that it's in Python. Looking forward to the rest of the courses in this specialization.

Awesome course . Course Material's are just asesome. It took me several weeks to complete the course "Neural Networks and Deep Learning" and I think I understand these topics easily. Highly recommended for these who wanna be a deep learning enginner.

Amazing!! Very well explained from basics. Its different and unique pedagogy. While other programs start off directly using Tensorflow and Keras, Andrew goes through the basic intuition and helps develop the code using Numpy which clears the basics!!

One of the simplest and most intuitive introductions to machine learning and Deep Learning I could ever have. In spite of this I would like to make a suggestion to include possible rectifications to our code in case of errors by the automatic grader.

The course is simple to follow as it progresses from the fundamentals to more advanced topics.

This is an excellent introduction to deep learning.

I did not complete the original course everyone mentions (yet), so I do not mind the overlapping content.
